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.

    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
    • You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.
    • Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback
