My birthday and Christmas present was the Villa season ticket for as long as I can remember., very grateful for this especially around that time. One bright spark from that era is my mum won £1000 on the Villa lottery in 1981 and she got presented with the money on the pitch with a big cheque The next day she took me and my sister to Carrefour in Sutton and we brought on an Atari 2600 with space invaders, the rest went towards Christmas Edited June 10, 2020 by Follyfoot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to upset you. “Cordial” I reserve almost exclusively for elderflower, lime and fancy ones like pomegranate. I’m pretty posh (I’m a lawyer from Oxford so I sound like I have a mahogany desk and leather bound books shoved up my arse) and so on behalf of the posh, we would be offended if someone called Robinson’s squash “cordial”. Pop is a “soft drink” for me. I think pop is a Birmingham and upwards thing. We, the posh, disapprove. What else could you possibly call juice?? I can’t believe that one would be disputed.

Seat68 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 When I lived in Kent, they, the bloody web footed southerners, thought it was babyish to call a can of pop, pop. They referred to it as a can of drink. Weirdos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have very little access to squash and the little British shop here sells only Vimto. I don't like Vimto, it has that harsh chemical aftertaste. So I've gone all British expat and gone to the britishcornershop.co.uk and ordered Waitrose apple and blackberry essential squash. It'll probably come in about 3 weeks when my passing hankering for squash will have disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot pork pie sitting a bowl of hot mushy peas, served with mint sauce. Cheap pub lunch specialty, with a pint. Pie and pies is Wigan Pie, peas and gravy is Lancashire. pie and mint sauce!

I don't know if your school rice pudding came with a blob of optional jam, ours did... anyway, I remember walking home from school, juniors (could have been infants but...) with my mother (she was a teacher in the school) and a girl in another group walking ahead of us wasn't well and threw up. Her puke was basically pink rice pudding. Nope not once ever have I eaten rice pudding since. Just can't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not at 8.30am nursing a morning glory, and regrets from the night before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
