A day when if the Mrs (or the Mr) complains about you having a pint of the amber nectar you can turn round and say its traditional!!!

The trouble is, beer makes you hungry for something hot and satiating ... but fear not my friends, Lake District Radio has your back.

How about a nutritious and delicous Frydays chippy tea for 2???

Crispy batter on fresh, white, flaky fish accompanies by the best of British potatoes, cut into chunky chips, fried with love and served with fresh, tasty mushy peas? All smothered in tasty salt and tangy malt vinegar- if that doesn't fill the spot there's really no hope for you!

To win not one, but TWO chippy teas from Kendal's very own award winning 🏆 chippy, Frydays of Kendal- just tell us what is you're favourite drink related song? 🍸🥃🥛🍷🥤☕️

It doesn't have to be alcoholic (this is a family station) but it can be if you like? ..

Just leave your answer below and tag someone you would happily share a pint with.

Competition closes at 6.30pm and Lee will play a selection of your choices (also giving you a shout out) from 6.30pm on The Lee Durrant Show. Announcing the lucky winner live on air before he goes off for a beer himself at 7pm.
