Whilst walking to the station today i noticed an empty bottle of Cherry B (the little drink with the big kick) this instantly took me back to my teens and the little bottles of goodies that used to appear in the drinks cabinet just before Christmas. Snowball, with cat sick viscosity would be there untill the following year. Babycham would have been my tipple of choice as a 13 year old alas that was the first to go. Double Diamond that apparently worked wonders and many others that came in a 'Party 7' can, where did they go? Any other obscurities remembered?

Iceland on LL was selling four-packs of CherryB last Christmas.


In a similar vein do you remember 'Pony'? Advertised as "The little drink with the big kick!" it was in fact British cream sherry in a little bottle. Also remember 'Party 4' for the more fiscally bereft.


Another fondly remembered tipple was the 'malt liquor' (funny tasting lager to you and me) of the early 70s like Colt45 and Breaker - the alcoholic equivalent to Cresta. Only drunk - at the time - as it came in little cans so couldn't be watered down by the clubs that sold it - that and Pernod and black meant you got violently ill but were sure you weren't ripped off.

Whatever happened to German wines? As they used to ask for when I worked in Oddbins in Liverpool in 1985, "Ay mate, have you got any of dat der table wine, how do you say it? Liefbrau, liebfro, leeben?"

We'd reply "I think sir is requesting the Bernkasteler K?rfustlay Gewurztraminer Trockenbeerenauslese Qualit?tswein mit Pradikat perhaps?" "No? Niersteiner Gutes Domtal, Qualitatswein bestimmter Anbaugebeit?", "Tafelwein then sir?" "Yeah, darrel do."

"Not red or white wine sir?" "How about Black or Blue then?" "What do you mean mate are you taking the P*ss like?" "No sir, I merely meant Black Tower or Blue Nun?" A little cruel in hindsight, but funny at the time.

    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
