I worked in the Tail of the Bank for many years a long time ago and 'clear or dark' reminded me of being taken to Sutherland's in Port Glasgow and the Argyll and Sutherland near the West Station in Greenock as a 'cultural experience' for a young lad from Paisley.

I did until I had a heavy night on it when I was about 18 🤢🤢 Even the smell of it now and I'm nearly 50 makes me 🤢🤢🤢🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted March 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 So, after all the experimenting throughout my younger years, and quite a few bouts of vomiting, I've narrowed ny current drink down to vodka/blackcurrant & diet pepsi. There's an array of cocktails that, depending where I am, that I will sample but the vast majority of time is vodka. In the summer weather maybe a couple, no more, bottles of lager, and that's it. No more sickness, took me a while to get to this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
