When I was a teen, me and my mates were on the hallowed Buckie quest to find a number 1 or 2 bottle as legend said it was the finest Buckie ever made, blessed by Pope John Paul himself! One of my mates is from Southampton originally and he had a load of guys from down that way on his stag doo. One of them used to work on the bottling line for Buckfast. When the Scottish contingent of the doo found out about this we questioned him all night about the Buckie quest. He knew nothing about the bottle numbers and confirmed our fears that it was all pish. Absolutely gutted!
Also a few years ago I was working in Morecambe and staying in a hotel on the promenade. While sitting at the bar on the first night I noticed attached to the optics a bottle of Buckfast. I asked the barman about it and he said its £3 a shot and that the tourists from the ships went mental for it! Haha!
