There was another drink....in a smallish brown bottle, a gold label with red writing. I used to get legless on that.....maybe that's why I can't remember the name!! maggie

was it barley wine maggie?

I've got two Cherry B glasses - reckon they're worth anything? LOL I liked Cherry B. Think I might get some and go orf on a trip down memory lane - or should that be up the kerb? LOL Mags xx

Hi Maggie, I could wrong but wasn't it called 'Gold Label' Fiona.x

hiya mags (hope you are well ) them cherry bs were in a 4 pack, so dont be daft and sup the lot in 1 go lol . you might end up doing sumatt you will be sorry for, now why has my brain gone in 'blast from the past mode ' lol x

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

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

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

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.

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(((:

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

Gosh, memorie's.

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

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

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

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

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.
