Re: I ain't seen that in...yonks!

This is the one we had when were growing up,but what a pain in the backside it was to make a simple bottle of pop..........

Soda Stream

Did anyone else's mum try to save money in the 80's by making their own pop, these came with gas canisters, and special little bottles. you'd make it up with awful pop flavoured syrup. IMO the pop never came out fizzy so it tasted flat and cheap!!

Beer at home means Davenports!
That’s the beer!
Lots of cheer!
The finest malt with hops and yeast,
Turns a snack into a feast.
Straight from breweries to your home,
Why collect?
We'll deliver!
Soon you'll know why folks all say:
“Beer at home means DAVENPORTS “!

There was - but for the life of me I can't remember the Trade name !! It was a flat back lorry rather than a van though.

We used to get the Alpine pop man come round. Know what you mean about every flavour. Used to have the pineapple because we thought it exotic!
I'm sure at one time there used to be a van that used to come round that just sold beer.

Re: I ain't seen that in...yonks!

in the 70's we had a mobile shop/grocers van...had steps at the back & you walked up into it.

There was also the Fish Man, Potato Man, Rag & Bone Man (still around)

but my 2 favs.....

the sweet van (VW Camper Van..side door slid open, and an Aladdin's cave of sweets.....favs being Sherbet Fountain & Spangle (fizzy, NOT the Olde English ones!)

the pop man...sure it was Alpine pop...came in EVERY flavour under the sun

Re: I ain't seen that in...yonks!

Does any one still get a chip van? not a static one - a proper one that drives around and beeps his horn when hes stopped?

We also used to get a Shop Van - a proper shop in the back of a van, you could buy anything a corner shop would sell and get 10p back on your pop bottles
