Welcome to all new posters

I don`t like whisky either, I`m a port and lemon girl, is that alright?

hard liquor wota

Port and lemon? Wasn't that Ena Sharples's tipple in the early days of Corrie?

Takes me back to the Dubonnet and lemonade that we often drank when we were younger - thought we were so grown up!

My guilty pleasure is Cherry B - when I can find it in the shops!

When teenagers it was Cherry B and Cider,it was cheap and you always had a good time,it sent you to another planet.No wonder the 60s are all fogged up in my brain.

Funny how these fashions for drinks go - I used to like Babycham and Cherry B in the 60s, then it was sherry, vodka and orange, gin and tonic, then I discovered wine - very sweet wine!! Then I developed my taste buds and good red wines. I hardly touch alcohol now - perhaps 1 or 2 glasses every couple of weeks. My children (adults) have discovered pear cider, which tastes just like Babycham!

You can't beat a nice pinot.

I like pear cider too.

Ooh! Must try that, I used to be a big cider-drinker in the 70s and 80s...

The first time I got drunk was on Babycham . In my 20s it was G&T or beer. Nowadays, I only drink if I'm in company, and then mostly white wine, preferably pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. Also partial to a glass of cold prosecco. Cheers!

Hello everyone. I have joined recently but this is my first post. I wanted to have a proper look around before I introduced myself - and I must say I really like what I see. I'm very much looking forward to being part of this

Hi Numberplease, I'm from Lincolnshire, in the North.
Just looking around this site, still not understanding it all, but couldn't not answer you. So this is my first go.

Welcome FeeTee and grannyjules

Good morning grannyjules and welcome. If you start to understand what you're seeing, give us a shout, will you? We don't!!

You should have lots of laughs on here and there is warmth and support when discussing more serious issues.

Just popped over to the other site and bumped into you grannyjules. Looks like we will be seeing each other regularly

Hello to FeeTee and grannyjules and welcome - and to anyone else who is still lurking, come and say hello!

Fascinating as lurking can be, it's much more fun to take the plunge and get right into the strange but alluring melée that is Gransnet.

What a beautiful - and accurate - description!
