    How very dare you! my friends have never even tasted it (I have out of curiousity - yuk!), cider was the thing when we were young, I don't think Buckie had made it here then. Diamond White, Merrydown and Strongbow are names I remember... oh the good old days... when we had summers and we were happy to buy a bottle of cider and some pakora and picnic down the beach...

    obviously we walked there in our hobnailed boots!

    oi, what is all this talk of wee? I am currently reliving my youth as I've rediscovered cider...is it Koppenburg? Elderflower or pear - both yummy! Currently drinking tea mind you...

    Soooo relieved it's pay day tomorrow!
