Right, as of this coming Sunday, for a number of resons (non of which are a new years resolution), I intend to embark on a month of no alcohol. I know I am going to find it very tough, and I am looking for nice drinks to enjoy in the mean time, as lemon squash will get boring very quickly!


I'm not really that in to cola and other fizzy drinks.


I am a big fan of Orange & Passion fruit J2O, but equally, I resent the bloody price of them!


Any favourites that I could give a try?

Many years ago when I was off the sauce I'd drink Sparkling water and lime with ice and a slice when I was in the pub. Hated the fact that I had to do it but it needed to be done or I was probably going to end up dead. Other than that I love ginger beer. Mango juice is another favourite too. Good luck Otta.

Agree with RosieH about the Fentimans. Delicious!


I usually have some sort of cordial in the fridge to mix with fizzy water. Elderflower is the basic, but there are lots of variations according to season - Elderflower and Strawberry was lovely, think it's Elderflower and Plum at the moment, which is nice but not quite as good. And the spiced berry one with hot water is great as a warming drink (and for when you're on the booze again, my Dad says it's lovely in a drop of red wine that's passed it's best warmed up as mulled wine, though I've yet to try it).


Am also on the alcohol-free bandwagon for a few weeks.

Soda Water, fresh lime juice and a splash or 2 of bitters makes for a refreshing and tasty drink.


Otherwise if you're really craving the cold beer hit then I'd recommend Bavaria 0.0% lager over Becks Blue.


Check this site out Alcohol Free - they have some interesting beverages.

The OP asked for alcohol free drinks. Bitters are 45% ABV.

    • That's very odd if they won't answer. Do they just say "no, we won't tell you that"? I can understand they wouldn't want you to get the bread direct from their source instead of from them, but why not just say that? If they baked it themselves, I imagine they would be only too happy to let people know.
    • Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could  post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline  number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. Good luck! Hopefully your service manual may turn up in an unexpected place.
    • Well, that was my initial thought too, but having re-read the thread, it seems that the car was left outside Westminster Carpets. Maybe even middle-aged Lotharios can't ignore the low, low prices in their 'Remnants, Offcuts & Roll-End Sale'.   Do you know anyone with a second generation Fiat Punto (1999-2010)? Because 5 to 1, the key will fit.  I'm out of the country, watching the cricket, just now but if you can get it down to the Catford/Sydenham borders in the next couple of hours, I've got a mate who can 'look after' it. It'll be at Tilbury docks by 6 o'clock. Have you ever driven a car with an F1 style, flappy paddle gearbox before?
    • "Isn't a car of interest" but reported stolen? That's bonkers, surely? Has it been stolen or not? Did they say why it wasn't a "car of interest"? Had it been stolen but already recovered by the owner, who has now parked it outside your house? Had  it been stolen but the owner got his sixty grand from the insurance so no longer cares, and the police don't care about it as the thieves have abandoned it? Or don't care because they can't catch the thieves unless they find them driving it? Any other theories? Surely if it had been reported stolen the police might at least want to let the owner know where it was? It seems a bit of an odd car to steal anyway,  being rather noticeable!
