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.

    • Elliot built alcove cupboards and shelves in our lounge room earlier this week. SO happy with them, the quality of joinery is superb and elliot was very communicative with me about checking things and confirming details. Clean and tidy aswell (even brought his own kettle!).    Would definitely recommend for any carpentry or joinery. 
    • Hi .. I’ve still got the  bike lock 😀
    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
