Any (of the old f*rts) remember Cherry B?

[Bazzer]

I recall being in the WMC that Mum & Dad in law were members, Dad in Law and myself went up to the bar to get the drinks, we had two pints of Tetleys bitter, and his first words were to the steward your beers off, the reply was no it isn’t they brought Tetley Walkers by mistake, iirc it didn’t taste the same as Tetleys brewed in Leeds, which at the time was king in West Yorkshire, if you wanted bitter, then Carlsberg took over and killed the best money maker they had , we knew a few people who worked at Tetleys and they had an allowance per day, a lot saved it up and went in on the bus on a Friday , and could get cheap cans too

It did taste different. The Leeds brew was far superior. - And I say this as a Manc.

Cresta was a soft drink way back when. It wasn't nice and I remember how synthetic it tasted to me.

I remember that. It was proper offensive!

It really was!

Cresta.. It's frothy, man

cyclechat has a fan of the stuff @I like Skol ….

I used to like the skol adverts of the cartoon vikings, skol, skol,skol, skol….

In fact I have a head of 1970s and 80s adverts.…. All at once you get the feeling, it’s an urge there’s no concealing… or, Topic, a hazelnut in every bite, I remembered!

I can remember my parents having cheese and wine parties back in the early 70's, where bottles of Blue Nun and Liebfraumilch were regarded as the height of sophistication.

We had a ritz and brie, beer and bacardi (not together) get together with old friends from N ireland on Friday evening in their caravan. Does that count ?
No nonsense people, open talk and discussion, good job i wasn't drinking, i probably wouldnt have survived their alcohol tolerance

that "song" seemed to be all over when I was very young.

Had forgotten about and then cycling around once I saw a ghost sign for it on the side of a building -made me feel ancient.

DD was my favourite drink for A very long time.

I always imagined that it was terrible like a lot of the mass advertised pops of that time - never drank one though.
(late 70s I remember an american tourist in a pub on whitehall raising a glass to his lips and telling his wife what a great british pint he was being treated to - it was Watneys)

Remember Party 7's. They were a joy, not. But always reminded me of depth charges.

Another example of how the British get to be world best at something and then let the money-men ruin it, see also: railways, Raleigh bikes.
