Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Slick]

Solripe and laterly Alpine (remember them) were wannabe scoosh makers...
there is no substitute for the Bru...

so far we have scoosh(checked with the Angus other half, means spraying)
ginger
swally
limchy
carbonated beverage (they let it go flat as Ayrshire's 1%ers don't want to be seen to fart)
Juice
slug....

there has to be tons more

If you are a Bru purist you will hate me then as back in the day I would tan 2 litres of the white label stuff every day.

Wham's Dram was my drink of choice in those days.....

Not heard of that for years - wasn’t there a big advertising sign as you came into Largs?

It was 40 odd years ago,
a wasted late teens and early 20s...
There was a pub next to the station, the Jubilee (something else now) which had a large sign on the south facing outside wall but can't remember if it was a Scotsmac ad, more likely the better known Brisbane Cream(made Lanliq taste like Chateau Lafitte)
there was also an ad board as you headed in off the foot of the Haylie Brae....

Fiery ginger beer is my present day choice of scoosh

Pop!
I’m another that isn’t daft on
Irn Bru. Not that keen on fizzy juice at all. Would rather have a nice diluting juice or a fresh orange.

It rots your teeth and stains yer carpet anyway..

Well, well ....
I remember when I was told off on here for saying that I find the Bru vile
I remember something being said, like ... bloody foreigners, they drink San Pellegrino ...

Bru is great, but in very specific circumstances:

1. when accompanying a fish supper
2. when accompanying a hangover

I'm a northern islander...but I love San Pellegrino

 

[cookiemonster]

If it has at any point been in contact with fruit or vegetable, it is not juice.

Controversial: I never really cared much for irn bru. The only thing worse than it was solripe's attempt at the concept.
Edit to correct further: Limeade is worse still.

I loved Barrs Pineappleade (sic) when I was a kid. Then taking the bottle back for 5p.

I vaguely recall that time. That wasn't me - I was quite angry about fizzy water for some reason. (I still am.)

Glass cheques.

24 years already. I remember getting ready for work when I heard the awful news. God bless them all.

Yesterday at the dentist and she said my teeth are in remarkably good condition. Must be the only part that is.

Did she say which ones?
