...a Harvey's Bristol Cream no less. I'm transported to my gran's sitting room circa 1978. It's delicious.

What drink transports you back to the past?

I love a snowball. Christmas evening watching telly with my mum and nan. I'll be buying a ready mixed multi pack next work. Bloody gorgeous.

I've drunk sherry since about age 9

My nanna did too. She let us kids have the babycham too because she didn't think it was alcoholic Xmas Grin

Got pissed on Babycham aged 14. No-one in the family thought it was alcoholic - hence why I was drinking it.

Snowballs.....loved them aged 17, revolting in retrospect.

Snowballs absolutely must have a maraschino cherry speared on a cocktail stick and resting across the top of the glass. So grown up! Very 1960s. Happy days.

Sorry OP, I seem to have hijacked your Sherry for Snowballs with my post 😂

Well I suppose a snowball is seasonal anyway!

Absolutely no worries. I loved a snowball back in the day too.

Also, what about Pomagne? We used to have that on special occasions. I don't even know what it was.

Oh yes, height of sophistication in our house on a Sunday with a big roast and lemon meringue for pudding.

Wow we very swish.
