Stavross 17,845 Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 It was Lowcock’s Lemonade around here, in the early to mid 80’s me and my brother would stay at my nannas on a Saturday and we could have a bottle off the pop man as a treat, she would also get us a copy of Viz on a Sunday morning ( my mam didn’t think Viz was appropriate for an 8 year old, but nanna didn’t mind) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
