Oh my, I remember them and was just talking about them the other night. I remember feeling very 'bad' and daring, going into a pub a few weeks before my 17th birthday (several times in those few weeks!) and having just one Cherry B all evening. I thought I was so sophisticated! I was a bit of a goody-two-shoes though as my justification was that I'd only have one, and I managed to stick to that even though my friends got tipsy. I'd forgotten about Pony - the little drink with the big kick, but I didn't like them so much. I haven't had a Cherry B in years so I don't know if I still like them, but they never did remind me of cough mixture.

hiya bren, maybe our morrisons in bolton is for slummers lol, when me and hubby were courting, we went to morcambe (yes its still on the map, well it was last time i lokked lol) we booked into a b and b and payed up front, several brandy and babyshams later, and pints of bitter, we forgot were we booked into , so had to find anthor b and b, or spend the night under the stars lol, roxanne sorry for hyjacking this thread x

lol Sandra imagine that waking up to find bambi in your room

I used to drink and I have a Cherry b glass in my cabinet. I didn't see any Cherry b's in Morrisons this morning Sandra Don't think I would have bought any though to many memories of being Sick Also remember going out with my sister in law to this very nice country pub ,she was drinking Brandy and babycham when suddenly she just slid under the table , my husband and brother in law did a quick exit leaving me to handle things .I blamed it on the fact that she is asthmatic and some kind person helped me to get her to the car Bren

hiya little lc lol, at least he picked the cardboard woman up , and not the cardboard bambi, that advertised babysham, he would have a a shock when he woke up lol x

Gosh, memorie's.

Fiona, D'oh - yes it was called Gold Label :0) Pretty lethal. maggie

elaine thunderbird was a pear wine wasn't it got very bladdered on that when i was 17/..drank it through a straw with a friendxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((:

there used to be an almost life size cardboard girl advertising babycham. My brother in law picked her up around her waist and took her home. When he woke up he got a fright as he thought it was a real person in is room. He really didnt remember taking it home.

I remember asking for a Cherry B once (thinking it was sooooooo grown-up). I can still feel that horrible sick feeling in the back of me throat - cough medicine always reminds me of Cherry B - mind you, I dont remember ever having a cough in my youth - lol Jac

Roxanne my mum has stashed that away for christmas....she got it from iceland and babycham...remember being sick on babychamxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx))):

those big box handbags came in handy for taking home the cherry B glasses and some ashtrays.....
