Cheapest pint of Sam's in Durham always seemed to come with 'Poetry' 
(anyone who's ever drunk there knows which pub I mean, some of the grimmest evenings I've ever endured! - have they ever finished decorating?)
Slices of lime are merely a hypothetical concept in most of the Durham pubs the diggers used to frequent, or have people's tastes gone up-market these days? Also after a certain point doesn't the slice tend to block the handy drinking portal, preventing access to the important brown runny stuff? Shame they stopped making proper bottled Guinness, so treble Dublin Depthcharges are no longer possible, maybe a good thing }
