Yeah I bought a bottle of it for my girlfriends dad the little I tasted of it was lovely smooth easy to drink not like the standard stuff , is it the one that says about using peat in the brewing process?

 

[tamz]

Theglass bottles of Irn Bru are made in Scotland with Scottish water and taste different.
You get 30p back on the bottle too :lol:

It was a limited run Jules so probably only up here.
Last year i was n a big site and a young apprentice was hanging around with nothing to do. I told hm to go get a wheel barrow and go around collecting the emptiy juice bottles then take them to the shop and cash them in. He collected and bagged them then wheeled them to the shop and had over £80 worth of bottles and when he came back it caused a bit of a row (pronounced rouwe i think meaning argument).
I had to step in and tell them to calm the fk down and if they wanted the empties they should take them back themselves. Leave the laddie alone.
It was the 80 quid that annoyed them

 

[julesverne]

when i was a kid we'd collect ben shaw's bottles 10 p a bottle dandelion and burdock & sasarsprilla were my favourate drinks back then

 

[julesverne]

80 quid thats some serious bottle collecting. think the most i earned was a quid at 10 p a bottle

 

[tamz]

30p a bottle up here. Not long in mounting up on a site of 1 or 200 guys

 

[kay-jay]

Ha ha this brings back memories. We used to go knocking at all the neighbours doors and take back empties to the off licence for the deposits. Usually 5 or ten p per bottle:sly:

 

[tamz]

So you were poor too :lol:
Screwtops were the best for us. We got a tanner for a screwtop from the pub and 10 minutes later the bottles were put out the back which we lifted and took back in :smile:
The ice cream man would break wafers to give to us when we asked for broken wafers. He must have felt sorry for us standing there black faced in our knitted arran jumpers down to our skint knees :lol:
Weans now a-days know nothing!

I remember the screw top bottles from the pub - we never took them back into the same pub - just wait till they went into the wooden crate out the back and then lift them and take them down the road to a different pub.

And then take the money to Sterratts the bakers, who would sell you yesterdays buns for a penny each.

Nah, we weren't poor Tamz. We weren't rich, but we weren't poor.

I remember listening to my Nan's stories from the general strike in the 20s. That was poor, when breakfast was a cup of hot water, and men queued up for what we wouldnt feed to an animal now. We never had it that bad.

 

[solutions]

Roast chestnuts
Rollmop herrings (you either love them or hate them!)
Mince pies

Nuts in shell

Mrs S's bridesmaid was Jewish, and introduced me to the finest Jewish tradition of the all - breakfast!

Chopped herring on a freshly toasted bagel may actually be a better breakfast than a bacon roll. And it cost me a lot to admit that.

Yeah. Still am. 😱

Good god ray that sounded like a scene from Heartbeat!

 

[Gray0689]

LOL they are about 35p a bottle so i get the mrs to spash out on a couple of dozen at a time :lol:

It tastes better from the glass bottles. Irn bru tastes better from glass bottles too.

Iron brew is my favourite

I'm sure I read somewhere that aluminum cans and plastic bottles are microporous whereas glass bottles aren't, hence the better condition of the drink and the better taste.

If its beer. Avoid green bottles. Brown glass only as its the only colour which filters uv rays. Uv makes hops taste funny kind of a twangy aftertaste.
