lucozade bottes used to come wrapped in amber headlight film from the chemist.
Only ever purchased in the event of a family sickness..... was never too sure if it wasn't the Lucozade that actually made me sick in the first place!
Can someone confirm - they changed the taste when it became marketed as a 'sports drink'?

I think it's changed a couple of times, but the big one was when that mockney tosser who killed Turkey Twizzlers took aim at soft drinks, which has rendered Lucozade, Irn Bru and most recently Pepsi mostly undrinkable. ... was never too sure if it wasn't the Lucozade that actually made me sick in the first place!

Topping up the car's battery with distilled water.
Yes, and checking the SG of the electrolyte with a hydrometer.Spending half a day every 1,000 miles wielding a Wanner grease gun on the suspension joints.

My Daughter is currently learning to drive and franticly sitting mock tests.One of the questions was what should you top up a car battery with.
Of course she didn't know and I'm glad she knows now but wondered how relevant it is to someone who's never likely to look under the bonnet of the car.
I am of course going to have to educate her on changing a wheel. Not sure if her gel nails will stand up to it but that's driving folks.

....little glass domes on petrol pumps with a small impeller whizzing around inside, operated by a chap in a brown 'open all hours' overcoat
Having an account at the local petrol station. When I was a kid my parents never paid for petrol, it was billed monthly to our house. I don't think that happens any more.Lotobear said:
beer dispensed from a pump with a horizontal glass tube that sucked in the next half as you dispensed the first. And planished copper bar tops
Only in M&B country surely? Brew XI - headache juice.I spent lot of time in the Black Country and Midlands in general with GKN and the Tettenhall Wood hotel had those cylinders.
