I had no idea that Coca Cola was a bigger company than Villa.

Honestly Harry.....me neither. As a bairn Villa pop was all over the shelves of every shop with coke and pepsi tucked away in a corner somewhere. I was well into my teens before I realised that Villa wasn't available in far flung places such as Newcastle

Just been looking at some old photos I found and there is one of me and my grandad with a bottle of Sarsaparilla pop from Sykes.
I fcukin loved that pop van... I think me grandad spent virtually all his pension of bottles of pop and lottery tickets!
Was there ever a better variety of pop?

Top effort spelling it correctly, it's nice to see standards upheld.

I feel I must now block you.
Had a cousin who used to put a scoop of ice cream in with their cream soda.... The dirty tramp.

I used to spit in mine and stir it as a kid to make it more mousse like and smooth. What an absolute f***ing dirty tramp...I know

I do the same with root beer sometimes, f***ing gorgeous.

Never had proper rootbeer. Apparently it tastes nowt like what it used to because the original Yank version of it was found to be a teensy bit cancer-causing.

Marjorie Sykes is on me phone list.

Not that she's Sykes since she wed.

 

[Ras Kassiano]

Sykes was the top pop producer in town in my day.

None of this Villa muck they used to flog in the hole in the wall chippy Grangey for 20p with poxy, mass produced labels and that.

None of that business with Sykesies.
