    I'm teetotal so I had a nice can of diet cream soda. Just not the same as a talking point is it? Night all.

    Of course! :)

    I'm not even sure I've ever tried cream soda... I've had soda water?

    Strangely, if you look at my place on Street View, and then do a 180, you are looking directly at a dung spreader in action!


    Still that's better than the old aerial photo, which shows the staghounds' followers running amok in the front garden....:(

    I've just done a street view journey in the Midlands: Back from the pub to a home I rented in the 1960's - Very strange sensation and amazingly it is very little changed.
    But the current occupants have kids (slide & trampoline in the garden).

    I also had a confrontation with a red juggernaut as I approached the roundabout at the end of the road. Then I realised I was driving on the wrong side of the road:rotfl:
    geddit?

    PS "Cream Soda" is the nectar of the Gods - or that is how it tasted to me as I undertook a "I can cycle to Brighton and back in a day" challenge, aged 13. Cream Soda saved my life - can't say I've noticed it on sale in these modern times. Is it any good for adding to a thick thick milk shake?

    If you put lemonade into ice cream, the resulting mixture tastes a bit like cream soda.

    Cream soda is fairly disgusting.

    I drink very rarely. At weddings, Christmas, etc. I like red wine and bloody marys and that's about it. The rest of the time I see it as a waste of calories that can be better used on chocolate.

    Diet cream soda (as opposed to the sickly sweet version with sugar in) is quite nice and also has the bonus of no caffeine.
