Well said.

I love rum.
I detest spiced rum.

I've got a litre of Kraken I bought on the return ferry that's going to languish in my cupboard for a very long time.

Ditto on the rum spiced rum is awful, Appleton rum is what I drink but only 1 bottle a year at Christmas.

Put a few vanilla pods in it (cut in half and seeds scraped in) and leave it in the back of the cupboard for a year or 2. Makes spiced rum vanilla extract. Then you just use it in place of vanilla essence in recipes.

I sometimes mix it into porridge on a cold winter morn

I'll bet lager was the top seller, though.
Back in the day, southern comfort was over-strength and a proper drink compared with the limp-wristed simulacrum you see today.
Still tasted like shi'ite, though.

I'm a bit surprised, but I'll have to take your word for it. I thought lager became the most popular beer later on, but I wasn't born until the mid 1970s so no real knowledge on this.

I wonder if Dr Who gets a load of that old money on the cheap in the future then travels back in time to have a cheap jolly up?
Makes sense!
Unless those Daleks keep getting in the way that is!

It's not much cheaper though, is it?

Well...if you looked on ebay you might get some out of circulation coins for less than face value...unless they're copper then they're probably worth more.

 

[Clint]

Hmmm...there's a 1970 5p going for £144! That's not viable!
Ah...I always found quite a few old coins metal detecting on the beach.

Those two very likely lasses. Turned the heads of many a young lad have that pair of hussies: fluttering their hairnets and illuminating Blackpool!

Never heard of it. Looks like it's time I educated myself.
