Sarsaparilla Sykes Pop....

[muggboots]

I was force fed dandelion and burdock, when I really wanted sasp

I love d and b now, but perhaps it's just a substitute

It is, I still drink D&B occasionally but it's not the same.

These still do the cordial if you have a soda stream, jazz and jays kebab shop in pelaw sometimes sells big bottles of fizzy but it's not the same as villa like.

Cresta pop anybody..

"Its frothy man"..

 

[Arkle]

I was just thinking that. Why would anyone have first thought "wey, if they can deliver milk, why not pop like" .....

To be fair, pop doesn't go off left on a doorstep in the sun. Seems like a far better delivery candidate. You don't get blue tits pecking through the lid to get at dandelion and burdock either.

Must have come from the place here...ipa used to work on the wagons as a kid as his dad was a manager there..

Always thought they were a local company but I'm sure I read somewhere that they were from the midlands

Fentimans in the little bottles is nice especially with vodka but its expensive...

That's why they were called tits. They'd have loved it if they had pecked through the lid. Daft shites

They've just stopped selling that in my local asda - not happy at all as it was very nice

Its two quid for a bottle about 250ml in my local..cant say have ever seen a bottle of that the ginger beer of the lemonade ever sold..

My memory of Sarsaprilla was from a little chemist shop in Gateshead, they sold the real stuff by the glass
Villa was as close as I ever tasted to the real stuff

 

[Washy]

Sure villa also had a place in Washington

Aye they did, used to lve the pop van coming round the doors as a bairn.

 

[Fletch]

I remember the chant - we all agree sykesies is better than villa...

 

[Rodders]

Used to love the cherry-aid and the sarsaparilla.
Only one I've found that comes close now is this one

Pop wagons eh. What a bizarre idea. What were shopping trolleys for?

they must have died out in the late 80s?

 

[Icarebecauseyoudo]

I used to think of Villa areas as being deprived iirc

Becoming a endangered species sasp.

 

[Charmless Man]

Used to love getting a Villa pop with my fish and chips. Do they still do it in the north east? Never see it down here.
