I loved the anecdote. I always believed that I hated cider until one day a mate of mine with a similar ‘intolerance’ to yours made me sip from his Magners pint. I ‘listened’. And it worked. I love it.

We are all driven by ‘defaults’, What color we like, what TV, what beer, what celebrity and this runs into a lot of things. We stop being aware and observant and that stops us becoming spontaneous and receptive.

Whoff! Need a pint now-Kron please!
