On the same note,

I had a very interesting conversation with a bloke, who was buying little cans of Mackesons in Morrisons. I didn't even know they still made it.

I buy the odd bottle of Manns now and again from Home Bargains

Mrs V is partial to Woodpecker Cider (for xmas) and I can get that from Tescos in cans

Indeed you can - and this how it's described on their website:

First brewed in 1959 for the European market. A lager of the highest quality brewed only with the finest ingredients to give a satisfying and refreshing taste.
Light & refreshing quality lager.

I remember seeing this up on a wall and doing a double-take. I'm pretty sure it was withdrawn pretty quickly. Quite surprised (and delighted!) to actually be able to find it...

A different beverage… As a teen, when we would go on camping trips, it was customary to always bring along a bottle or two of this… Stones Ginger Wine. It was unique to us in the States. One of us must’ve tried it on a whim. Then it became a standard camping beverage. I suppose everybody on this board is familiar with it? I always have loved ginger In any form. I wonder if this stuff was where it all started?

We used to collect bottles for the pop van man and get my money back.

I now collect empty soda and beer cans from the countryside while I am out riding. I take them to the supermarket and put them in a machine. I then get a reciept which I can spend in the supermarket.

We did that back in the 60's but that was with beer bottles. We got to know which pubs we had to take certain bottles back to . We were paid for the deposit and then spent the money on sweets, crisps and pop . It was a good system. The breweries got their bottles back and the pubs benefitted from the trade .

Not noticed Stones Ginger wine about for ages. I will look next time I'm out. Cresta was a soft drink way back when. It wasn't nice and I remember how synthetic it tasted to me.

I love the stuff, especially as part of a Whisky Mac. Crabbies is also a good ginger wine.

Another ginger fan here. Just had my daily porridge with fruit and dried ginger pieces in it. Delicious.

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.

Haha, I held those parties myself! Used to spend hours and hours skewering chunks of cheddar and pineapple on toothpicks ...

And people like me would discard the pineapple and eat the cheese
