I think I may have heard you shrieking - even though I'm the other side of Brisbane

I thought you said the bloke never heard you scream with pleasure

I used to love dandelion and burdock, but they seem to have done something to it to alter the taste, and I don't l;ike it anymore, same as Walkers beef and onion crisps, there were delicious, then in the interests of making changes for changes sake they changed the flavouring, and started to call them Steak and onion, don't eat them now.

Oooh I used to love Dandelion & Burdock - really takes me back to my chidhood. I reckon the authentic taste came from the old glass Corona bottles that you could get your bottle deposit back for That and the proper Cherryade and Ginger Beer

Showing my age now, we used to have a guy that came round the village in a Corona van, selling bottles of lemonade and stuff, and taking all the empties back - I guess there were deposits on those, but my mum would've kept that
