    If it's cold enough it is good in the glass bottles but it is like cola and rots your innards. Lol

    Can imagine it was like gargling with battery acid Grant, i remember one day after the pop man had been, he left my mum with amongst other things a pop bottle the same as all the others but the label said Non Brewed Condiment on it, i was about 5 or 6 and didn't know what that was so i took a big swig, i can tell you what it wasn't, as i recall my whole family thought it was hilarious and i learned that Non Brewed Condiment was just a long ass way of saying vinegar.

    Yes, you'll be talking about Browns (but we still call it Mustapha's) That's where we go for regular chippy stuff. But tonight we went to Lisa's Chinese off top of Harpers Lane. No Lisa in sight though. All his family have buggered off to China for the foreseeable future, and he's keeping it going on his own. Respect!

    Not sure which Chinese i go to, just order off Just Eat at the moment, but i used to go to Wonderland Chinese in Leyland when i lived over there, next time you down Parker Street, feel free to pop in Steve, it'd be good to meet up with some forum members around the Chorley area.

    That looks like fun Mike, I want some!

    We used to buy these effervescent orange tablets that were meant to be put in a glass of water to make a fizzy vitamin C-rich orange drink. But we ate them like they were Trebor Refreshers. Keeping all the foam under control was a real challenge. But that was along time ago, we're all grown up now.
