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

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.

Dont forget the black forest gateaux

Oh, and does responding to this thread make me an old f*rt?

Of course .
You may though qualify as a quite young old f*rt.

I remember those parties. The ladies would wear kaftan-like dresses. They looked like a collection of hang-gliders.

We used to mix half a bitter with a gold label. That was really potent.

Black Velvet, 1/2 Guinness 1/2 Cider, great to watch if the barman/woman hadn't poured on before & put the Guinness in first, it would go up like a volcano.

Does anybody ever remember that fizzy drink called Quatro? I used love the taste of that stuff

 

[Paulus]

Nope. But it brings to mind one of my Dad's favoured tipples:

Wasn't a beer drinker, but he did like his 'barley wine' (rather odd, now I come to think of it - surely it was more of a beer than a wine?)

Strong stuff, 7.5%

Dont forget the black forrest gatuex

Yes it's still around, only the spelling has changed.

Sorry, couldn't resist, but it proves I'm in the old fart group too!

I once had a long session on Newcastle Brown with Barley Wine chasers.

Can't remember much about it to be honest.

Duly ammended
I have always been poor at spelling. When I was 7 I was presented to a class of 10 year olds as I was so good at reading......could pronounce all the "big" words. But when it comes to writing them down I really struggle to visualise them. Strange

My in laws still consider this on trend.

I like Blue Nun. In fact I'd have that over a £50 bottle of champagne any day

I was going to say that this thread bought back memories of Abigails party.

I used to mix it with Special Brew.

I also used to mix it with Merrydown.

Just the thought of the above has further reinforced my resolve for Dry January.
