Sure as hell beats the hell out of Beech Nut Barrie

No....sorry. I can't help it, I am not really a fan of beer at all.......give me a cup of tea any day.
At the time, Beech Nut was a favourite of ours(I say 'ours' because I shared it with my brothers)....we rarely got sweets of any description......and OK Beech Nut wasn't sweets as such...but it was sweet and it lasted a long time.......something which enhanced its popularity with all of us.
I actually liked Wrigleys spearmint much better but at the time it 2d a packed...twice the price of Beech Nut...with no chance of an extra pack if you were the 4th person to buy from the machine.

Cups of tea, beech nut chewy, you've led a very shelter life Margaret

Margaret Pilkington · 25-05-2010, 15:11

Mmmmm, well I might have....except I haven't always drunk tea.
I have stopped a fair bit of wine from going 'off'(and vodka, brandy and bacardi - in my younger days).......I haven't ever smoked, or done drugs.....but nowadays I drink alcohol only occasionally and boringly, in moderation(it isn't pleasant seeing an old lady drunk

).......preferring a nice brew.

When you get in our age band (guessing that we are within 10 years, if not, please accet my sincere apologies). then IMHO it pays to have and do what we like or want to do - so if it is a cup of tea as your preference then that is the way to go. I have my 2 cups of coffee to kick-start my day and then it is tea until aperitif time, unless I get dragged into various watering holes by the lovely people that we know in Accrington. Having said that, a pint of Thwaites bitter or Lancaster Bomber is indeed the drink of the God's.

BERNADETTE · 25-05-2010, 16:32

Like you need dragging into any watering holes Barrie

Barrie Yates · 25-05-2010, 16:58

Someone always suggested that I needed a drink as a break from all the shopping - as you well know XXX

You are so right Barrie.......most times I would choose a cuppa, but on a recent away break with daughter, I really enjoyed a glass of Gallo Zinfandel....just the one.
I have realised that at my age(62......I'm not precious about my age) it takes longer to get over the excesses........and if you have to suffer to enjoy something, then it takes the shine off it a bit.
