Excellent! Dodgy colour scheme, like, ha, ha. I have no evidence to support what I'm about to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if drinks such as these originated in old family recipes that were then commercialised. During the Depression me owld grandma used to make her arn ginger beer & herb beer (whatever that was) and sweets & sell them from her front room to try to mak ends meet. Prollyz gan down a bomb today. Unless it was shit! When she was a lass she used to sing solos in the Miners' Harl in Easington Colliery (I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Harls etc.), signed The Pledge & was an unofficial bookie's runner for her father. Her two codenames were XXX & Black Cat! Funny how things come back to you.
Memories are brilliant aren’t they?
Easington miners hall, had some good times in there like. But one of my memories is from the church across the way.
My eldest cousin got married & on his way out I thought he’d dropped his money. So there’s me, head down, only my feet on view, shouting “ leave that money alone, it’s my cousins Ted’s”.
I obviously didn’t kna the custom as it wasn’t followed in Yorkshire ( tight bassas)
