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....

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.

Whisky Mac was just a whisky with ginger wine, never tasted it.

[Michael Palaeologus]

"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.

xxxxxxx

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 .....

[Sharon_H]

Oops, sorry Sue, in my defence I've not seen or heard of anyone drinking it a long time.
