ye what happened to the pop man, we used to have a company called alpine, every flavour under the sun and then some, dandelion and burdock was the dogs, then some one else took over and the pop was ****, but at least one of the vans squished an old biddie at the end of my street which was cool.

what a poor childhood you must have had, no pop man, you would get 10p back on your bottles, we had a chip van and a mobile shop, it was a converted ambulance.

yea man Alpine pops were ****ing mint.

We used to get a good few bottles a week - then be able to tick what we wanted delivered the following week. We had some right choice.

Always had a cherryade and a dandelion and burdock though - that was a basic essential.

Orangeade was a bit ****e.

I loved the ****ing pop man.

orangeade was ****in ****e as was lime, pineapple was lush Dandelion n Burdock was the best, the blokes used to jump of the back of the moving alpine van and race to your house with several bottle wedged between their fingers, with all that pop no wonder everbodys getting heart disease lol

sounds alright to me. The milkman ****ing left town years ago round my end.

Supermarkets killed it.

Oh well - i love a pint of orange juice though. I remember in the mornings, before school - i'd catch him and buy one off him on the way down. Gorgeous.

Hahaha have you watched that Sykes documentary mate where he gets outta nick and his telling his missus to turn the lights off cos your eyes waste away if you dont use daylight when its there.
He's saying it's a statutory right in prison to use daylight when its available, hes saying statutory rights in jail are for medical reasons.
I thought hes just being tight hahaha.
