Lemonade drinkers

John Hearns said:

But lets for fun draw a comparison - do drinkers in pubs think
that the excise duty on spirits is used to build better pubs?

No, it is used to pay to build roads for people to clog up with their
tin boxes. ;-)

I know that dogs have been known to drink from the lavatory, but this
is ridiculous.

Why? Probably neither better nor worse than the soft drinks available
in most pubs, and a d*** site better value.

As is said, in most pubs you don't buy the drinks, you rent them ;-).

As a Scot have never seen the "secret lemonade drinker" advert (have
read about it tho' and seen it on the "I love the ..." shows) nor have I
seen bottles of R White's, Globe was the manufacturer of soft drinks
around here. Where I went to do my degree (Dundee) the Okai group used
to make "Merimates" remember them?

"Merrimates - they're great mate!" said by rough looking school pupil taking
surreptitious swig from Merrimates container hidden inside school blazer (if
I remember the ad correctly). The company my Dad worked for serviced the
Okai fork-lifts and he used to get a free box of Merrimates every Christmas.

Indeed I do.
If I'm not wrong, they were the drinks in a plastic tube.
You could put them in the freezer also?

Waiter, this wine has been drunk before.
