An apposite subject. I was shopping for cider in the supermarket
earlier, and looking at the cheaper versions. Scrumpy Jack aside,
they all seem to be cider "with sugar and sweeteners", even the _dry_
ciders. By the cringe, this country's going to the dogs. It occurs
to me that as cider is "an alcoholic drink made from the fermented
juice of apples", I find that calling this rot cider is mendacious.
I'm still not sure if I really like Scrumpy Jack.
To top it all they no longer stock jugs of Weston's Scrumpy.
I got some Frome Valley dry cider, and some Thatcher's varietal Cox's
cider. But I'd like a fairly decent cheaper one so's I can afford to
drink it more often, with _no_ added sugar _or_ sweeteners.

What's "cyzer"? It's not in my dictionary.
