Hey Mr 56

Well driving into work this morning and stopped for a drink and a papper. As I was about to reach for my usual tin of R Whites.....I noticed a tin of "Idris" ginger beer. I decided to take the risk and give it ago.

Gotta be honest although not bad,I would still rather have a nice tin of Lemonade personaly. Or even better still the king of soft drinks, Dandelion and Burdock!!

Didn't those little brown bottles have, at one stage, a little metal ball inside them? For what purpose I'm unsure?

You are missing out on so much my friend!!

Sainsbury's do a fantastic diet D&B. All ways have a bottle in and a tray of D&B ice cubes to go with it!!

Top pop drinks are a new one on me. I grew up in the days of "Carrona" delivered by the milkman!! Happy days!!
