Oooh good lists...


Archers & Lemonade

Asti Spumante

Snakebite (is it illegal for a pub to see it or is that an urban myth?)

Pina Colada

Sex on the Beach

Babycham

Mint Julep

Brandy Alexander


What's that drink, something and black... can't remember it.


My mother still orders Cinzano & Lemonade. I'm taking her to lunch at Le Gavroche for her 60th birthday next week, and I know she's going to order that or Asti Spumante, and I know I'll be embarrassed, and then guilty for being embarrassed (sigh) ;-)


Both my parents love a bit of mateus rose.

mackeson.

My Mum loves it.*

You can get it in cans sometimes in the supermarkets but not in many pubs.


Warninks Advocaat? Got smashed on that aged five when I discovered it in my Nan's living room cabinet.



* OK, I love it too. And Hope and Anchor on the rover front at Charlton sold it when I last went there.


And I adore Cinzano and Lemonade! Goes nice with a prawn cocktail....


Cherry Brandy, Apricot Brandy


Manderin Napoleon.

Taboo and lemonade.


Blue bols and lemonade.


I still enjoy a Manhattan, or a snowball at Christmas, or a brandy alexander when I have acid indigestion (so much more fun than a zantac). Clearly I am fashionably retro.

"Banks's Moild" thank you, Southern Bourgeoisie.


Black and Tan


Guiness and Vimto and a bag of Walkers Ready Salted (before the foil packets) or Pork Scratchings (in clear, plastic, label-less bags)


Sunday lunch at Hawkins Colliery Working Mans Club, Cheslyn Hay. The deafening clatter of dominos on plastic table tops, a fug of Woodbine and pipe smoke, pints of Banks's Moild in dimpled pint mugs, a bottle of vimto and a packet of Walkers. Two bob for the bandit. My youth. At least for three seasons of the year. Crown green bowls was the summer game.

Less of the "was", I still sometimes have one of these in the Winter when it's really really cold .....


Admittedly I had to explain to a barperson at the Palmerston what a Whisky Mac is .....

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By Rockets · Posted

      Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

      Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor

      Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
