Gin when I started in pubs was an old persons drink. You’d get a Gordon’s, maybe a lump of ice and even an old bit of lemon if you were lucky, then a warm bottle of Schweppes.
Shots didn’t really happen - trying to think if Aftershock was the first one to really take off - then corky’s.
Wines - white I particular - when I started the big seller was Piesporte, that moved to Jacobs Creek Chardonnay, then Pinot Grigio - then NZ Sauvignon Blanc …
Ales - Boddingtons - would any of the youngsters have a clue now!?

Pint for the fella and a white wine for the lady.

First time I got legless as a teenager was half a bottle of Cinzano Rosso, around 1984.. I wouldn't recommend it. My stomach lining took a right hammering..

Do chavs still drink Malibu?

The Saint often had a port out of a decanter whilst solving crimes in a day. Not something many people do nowadays except as a sickly drink with Xmas pud or to make a bad Stilton even worse.

Not many drink Grand Marnier, Crème de Menthe and other liqueurs that were de rigeur for middle class living in the 60s and 70s - and Granny is most unlikely to ask for a gin and French any more as noilly prat is no longer popular for some strange reason.

Oh yes.

My aunt Ada used to consume inordinate quantities of this. No ice.

It was exactly as you might expect.

Went to Buckfast Abbey a couple of days ago, near Tavistock.

The drink of my youth was light and bitter, if you wanted to really make somewhere rancid the following day then Old Bob and Bitter.


Used to drink Old Bob and Crouch Vale SAS in the Smack in Old Leigh.

If you go to Bishop Nick Brewery shop in Braintree they have quite a few old Old Bob bottles in their display of Ridley's beers from days gone by.

Cook's brewery in Halstead brewed Old Bob before Ridley's until Ridley's bought them out.

Is that just a euphemism?

Boddingtons was even more bland than the likes of Worthingtons. Actually, thinking about it, probably about the same.
