For some reason this part of the world reveres the corned beef pastie
the worst part of this is, they seem to be ignorant of the wonders of meat and potato pies as a result

It's difficult to get hold of Hollands pies (they only seem to have pukka pies which are shit) and for some reason, Vimto :s

I did live in Cambridgeshire and the only place I could get hold of Vimto was Waitrose
Back in the North West where I belong now though :D

It's not funny Badge, they are torturing kittums to make Vimto, kitums, think about it.

Artificial sweeteners in Vimto? What Vimto are you getting? The sugar free one?
Nah, near Huntingdon
(wehttamman via B3ta for microwave, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:40, Reply)

Nope, just the normal kind
It's surprising how much normal stuff has it in these days.

Artificial sweeteners are the work of the devil. Just add more sugar ffs!

Just to be clear - you are arguing over the relative merits of children's drinks?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:44, Reply)

they are only children's drinks
because they are marketed as such
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:45, Reply)

no, they are childrens drinks because they do not contain alcohol.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:49, Reply)

Yes. That is how it works.
You might call children their "target market". It is therefore reasonable to extrapolate from this that these drinks could be classified as "children's drinks"

I used to have Taylor's pies, but given that it was a small business in Crewe which, I think, closed in the mid 90s it's unlikely I'll ever taste that delicious peppery goodness ever again :(
