    I remember it, but we weren't allowed to drink it! Very occasionally we were allowed the orange one. For those too young to remember, a lorry/van used to go round the estates selling Corona (sweet fizzy drinks) and you could collect the empties and get some pennies back. Gosh, @Dovefromabove, I haven't remembered that for years.

    Sorry you've got my cold @Wild Edges, I actually don't feel so bad this morning, says she, very cautiously, but then, I've only just got up. Got to sit upright for half an hour waiting for my Alendronic acid pill to work, before I'm allowed tea and brekkie. Did mean to get up earlier but fell asleep again!

    We were only allowed it for birthdays 🙄

    My dog has an uncanny knack of finding lost toys when we're out walking. He'll disappear off into a ditch or patch of undergrowth and return with a tennis ball or frisbie that he'll insist we need to play with. Tonight in the pitch black he came back with this thing. I've no idea what it is but he's very pleased with it :#


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It probably said to him "Take me to your leader", so he did 🐕

    I'm becoming increasingly curmudgeonly about the flippin' starlings. 
    They bully the little birds and can empty the feeders in about 10 minutes.

    One of those spring loaded seed feeder jobs might work for you provided the starlings are heavy enough to activate it

    Surely the correct meal for St George's Day is the English National Dish - chicken tikka masala :D

    Or fish and chips (with mayo, not vinegar and no mushy peas or northern gravy).  I could do either meal.

    I think the Scots claim CTM was invented in Glasgow. ( many other claims are available)
