Anyone remember the name 'corporation pop'? It cynically refers to simple tap water but I've not heard this said by anyone for ages, maybe 30 years. Anyone still use this term or when was it last heard by you.

Re: Corporation Pop
I have mentioned this somewhere else in a thread, but I remember being about 4 years old and walking in my Nan and Grandads and saying 'I'm thirsty' my Nans reply was 'well there's plenty of Corporation Pop in the Kitchen' then my Mum saying 'she means water from the tap'.
I remember being so disappointed as I though she was offering me "pop"
I heard my Grandparents and parents say it many times after and I've even said it to my kidsHeather

Re: Corporation Pop
I was an Alpine Man !
My first job at 16 (so more of an Alpine Boy really).
£16 per week.
I remember going to work once in "Birmingham Bags" and the pockets emptying all over the cab floor as I climbed back into the lorry.
Good times...............

Re: Corporation Pop
A little OT but I presume they were like Oxford bags.
I don't remember any pop men near me when I was young, but my parents had a bottle or 2 that had never been returned.
The shop near to my primary school used to sell them & would give a deposit for the empty bottles.
Certainly some there was still a fairly local company delivering, as I remember seeing some houses with pop bottles next to the milk ones, maybe the local milkmen also delivered pop. I've heard of Unigate doing that.The Trickster On The Roof

Re: Corporation Pop
Hi Chipito, Boy you were worked hard weren't you guys. The deliveries were of a night were we lived.
Dashing about RUNNING with bottles !! - and the vans were cool - but you guys always seemed in a rush. Sometimes we missed you and had to make do with bottles from the shops.
Any flavours you recall ?
