that specialises in soft drinks, and that you can get it there. They do Jolt too apparently, which is the best Cola in the universe. When you can get it.

my sister and I
spent our childhood looking in hedgerows and going round the neighbours for their bottles so we could take them to the sweetie shop.
And in my late teens when life was hard, we would save them all month so we could afford to go to the chippy for food in the week before payday : ) half-pizza supper - hurrah!

I'm a McCain Oven Chips fan
Great for the kids and the old man
Better than chips from a chip pan
40% less fat
McCain Oven Chips really taste great
Gone like a flash on your plate mate
Chips that are bang up to date mate
40% less fat
