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.

    • Thanks, I had googled!    There is loads of info online, but I just wondered if anyone locally had more specific knowledge. It looks like it's probably too early for it to nest, but nevertheless I don't want to drive it away, as I like having birds in my garden!

    • I've just seen a wren in my garden ❤️ I haven't seen one there for years, though of course it may have been there, just hiding. Unfortunately it seems I may  have left it too late to cut back my thug of a Holboellia. I just googled (re the wren, not the Holboellia)  but I'm still unsure. I don't want to drive the wren away if it's about to build a nest in there (or has one already). Can anyone who knows more about wrens than me advise? Also, as the Holboellia flowers have a wonderful scent later on, I probably should have cut it back after it flowered last year 🙄
