Ah yes, we used to do Corona but my family went renegade and we switched to the Alpine lorry which delivered weekly - big bottles of exotic pop like Pineappleade, Raspberryade and Cream Soda.


We still preferred a sneaky swig from the Davenports delivery my father got.

Good call Jeremy. I was about to post the same.


Quatro reminds me of swimming classes at South Norwood pool. Always followed by a can of sugary goodness.

We had the Alpine lorry. Given the range of lurid colours the drinks were I'm not sure how many would pass current rules on additives.

I do, and they used to dleiver to our shop in Meeting House lane in the middle and late 70's.


My favourite fizzt drink is an imported one called Gazoz, which you can get from any good Turkish deli.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
