Heh-heh!

I told Mrs Vimto about this. She just grunted. Ho hum....

I've always wondered about your screen name until my recent trip to Britain. What a great tasting soda. I checked the supermarkets in my part of the country (western Wisconsin) to see if they sell the stuff. Unfortunately they don't. My Norwich raised wife brought back a ton of Sainsbury's tea with us, but no Vimto. Alas.

[vimto]

Hi! Glad you liked it. A past conservative leader once described something (cannot remember what) as 'Vimto British'! A taste of Britain and a taste of the 1950's and 60's before Coke and all that jazz.

Vimto went out of fashion during the 70's 80's 90's but is now gaining ground once more. Yet I still cannot get it where I live in Wales! I understand that they are presently trying to break into the American market.

Glad you married a British lass! Have you come across the mythical Radio Norwich? Very funny, worth a look.

"Radio Norwich"

You mean the Steve Coogan/Alan Featherstone thing? Hilarious. My wife enjoyed pointing out places of interest around Norwich that were used for location shots by Coogan. And I actually saw quite a few of those places while visiting Norwich last month. We saw a great many British landmarks on our trip like London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Stonehenge, Loch Ness, etc. But next time I want to see the big one: BLACKPOOLE!!!

[driftless2]

I'm sorry, I meant Alan Partridge, not Alan Featherstone. Where have I seen that name?

[vimto]

Blackpool is the real British deal - be warned though it expensive (very), dirty and shoddy, the people you buy tickets from for the rides are rude and ignorant. Loved it!

Best part was walking back to the car in the dark October drizzle. Some guy in the backstreet selling hot chestnuts. Made the day. Forever amber!

[driftless2]

We visited Great Yarmouth which my wife tells me an eastern version of Blackpool. Enjoyed that too. My only regret in visiting Britain was not purchasing a Jimmy hat in Scotland when I had the chance. Och aye!
