Buckie will fuck you up.

Buckie will fuck up your bicyle too...

I live by the Hibs ground... the ground sparkles with the green shimmer of the broken buckie bottle after every home game.

Its a special drink for special people.

You cannot pick up Buckfast in and around Minehead. Well, you defo couldn't before, and I doubt it has changed. Nor in any Tesco's, or any of the large supermarkets in England. Only one company in all of the UK distributes it, so generally it's only little offys that have it there.

Best thing is to bring it from Ireland, Scotland or somewhere else that sells it, or stop off in London or Bristol to pick some up.

In Bristol you can defo get it in the Off License on Stapleton Road, Easton (Melz I think it's called? Just down from Subway) and in a few of the little offies about St. Werberghs and St. Pauls.

I'm gonna pick up extra bottles like last year, and make sure that Fenton there doesn't drink 'em all :P hehe

Can't do bloc without some buck. Coming from Dublin we've checked in a bag dedicated to just bucky and speakers.
Plastic bottles all the way to maximise the bucky!
It does lose its charm without those brown bottles though.

If you're in Hackney, Kingsland Wines next to Dalston Kingsland station sell it. Although they have 3 bottles fewer than they did 10 mins ago :D
