As a family we once visited my mother's great aunts in Scotland
They were two formidable spinsters in their late 80s, and their house was like stepping back into the 1940s. I recall their sitting room contained about 20 sets of little nesting tables for tea and cakes etc.

They gave us neat squash, and to be polite, we fucking well drank it.

I love stories like that

I once ate a whole packet of boubon biscuits and drank 2ltrs of lilt because it had been bought specifically for my visit.

I appreciate that many rotund internet people may eat this on a daily hourly basis!

Do you think they served you that on purpose, or was she senile?
Either or, the undiluted stuff is fucking rank. Concentrated diabetes.

My family
were probably the last people on earth to acquire a Soda Stream. We were given it by an elderly parishioner of my father's.

We were SO excited. For about an hour, until we tasted the shit. Make economy Happy fucking Shopper cola in your own home!! ACE!!!!

I never had one, which may explain a lot of things
However my mate did, and the fucking mess we made with it was bang out of order....fizzy milk anyone? the next time I went up, it had been binned.

Haha I'm pretty sure
we tried to fizz up anything possible, too. We'd have carbonated fucking paté if we could have...

I think they just didn't know
it needed to be handled any differently from orange juice - in fact I think it was offered as such. I think it may have been 'Quosh'.

Quosh, nice one.
That opened the vault doors there, and as I peaked in I saw a few packets of Ipso's and a bag of Ranchero's peeking out at me.
