Don't think Corona still operate any more.
We used to have a lorry come down our road selling Corona where I lived as a kid & you could buy them off the lorry driver. You got six pence back for each empty bottle you gave back.
Must admit seeing all these names does bring back a lot of memories.
Bottle of Cherryade, a copy of the Beano & a Mars Bar sitting under a tree in the garden.....that was the life!!

Corona used to have the bottle with lots of raised dimples on the neck of the bottle. VERY VERY fizzy, not as much as Cresta, but you really could burp and belch after a few glasses of that!!

Was it Cresta who had the slogan "Lets gets busy with the fizzy"?
