Never had a chip butty. It does look good, but I'll take one w/out the butter. I can't stand butter.

I love root beer, when I was back in England I was chuffed when I found Waitrose sold it. It was a quid for a tiny bottle but well worth it.

Mrs. IP says it tases like liniment or medicine...ditto for Dr. Pepper. Having always liked both, I must say she is not wrong, there is that taste of medicine, but it ain't bad...the 3-4 times a year I drink it.

Re: Today for the first time
LOL, didn't realise it was still around, haven't been 'home' for about 4 years now, i'm hoping to get back for a visit next year, maybe I will see if I can find any and take a trip down memory 'taste', I tend to find though, that things I remember as a kid, never taste the same when I try them as an adult. I used to love 'parma violets' growing up, but now I think they taste like root beer!! lol
