Shandon Par Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Bert Raccoon said: I actually picked up a bottle of Electric White and took it as my carry out to a party many years ago, it was only when I took the first sip I realised it was undrinkable so had to find something to dilute it with. No blackcurrant at the party so ended up drinking Electric White and Kia-ora. It was great value. However, some (me, Shane McGowan, and probably many dead people) realised litres of Tesco Red Vermouth represented the most bang for your buck available. Went well with speed and a curry before a night out (think it would be called “prinks” these days).

It's Italian, so it's good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school coach stopped in Haddington and the bad boys tanned some Kestrel from the local Mace and drank it at the back of the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were at it with "Nunraw Abbey" until I looked it up and was surprised to find it a real place! Anyway, on the subject of cheap nasty ciders, I only ever tried this once. I can't remember whether it got me three times as hammered as its name suggested, but it made a change from Pulse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if he was on there but he was certainly behind a company that made most of the jingles for Radio 1. He's also now a convicted child sex offender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pah! 4th year CCF Field Trip to Arran, the local offie (separate door in and counter but adjacent to the public bar in hotel) in Blackwaterfoot(?) was delighted to sell us their out of date T.
