I have ranted about this topic before, seethread so when I went to Tesco this morning and saw a big advert for a ginger flavoured drink with the slogan 'Ginger, always the best man - never the bridegroom', I saw red.

Anyway, I started ranting as soon as I saw it and gathered quite a crowd all agreeing with me while I was trying to persuade teenage DD to take a photo of the offending advert (can't work my own camera phone [bublush] ). At this point, red-haired DD rolled her eyes and said 'Mum, you are sooooo embarrassing' and cleared off to look at the toiletries. [bugrin]

Now I know it is supposed to be funny, and I know it is a reference to Prince Harry but AIBU?

PS the tesco manager just looked at me as if I was a nutter and more or less said 'calm down dear'. [bugrin]

Hate these anti ginger advertisments. Never used to bother me, but since having a slightly ginger ds(depends on lighting and time of year) I have become overly sensitive about it.
Feel I need to do some major catching up......off to drinks cupboard......why the hell did I buy that ginger wine urgh. Oh the irony

right, have sunk the white, do we open a red or another white?

I used to get drunk on Ginger wine when I was 14 younger

Its disgusting, am I meant to mix it with something?

i've never drunk ginger wine, does it taste anything like ginger beer?

my nan used to make the most yummy ginger beer, in an old sweet jar

Ohhh I have infiltrated the secret thread!

[bugrin]

we used to drink exhibition cider, it was revolting but not very fizzy so you could neck it really quickly drink it without burping

Have a or three Norfolk

Ginger wine is yuk.

We used to buy Cinzano at school as it was only £2.83. Lawd I can still remember the price and it was 25 years ago! Saturday afternoons on the Suffolk coast were pretty dull otherwise.

DP's tipple of choice when we met was whisky and ginger wine.

Bar staff would look at him like this but, to be fair, it did blow your head off.

Agree with the Suffolk coast bit! (despite the name we are over the border in Suffolk)

It's beautiful and all that and I loved being at school there. However between '82 and '88 there was very little to do for bored boarders in the middle of nowhere. So we had to liven it up. And we did

Did the bouncers have fluffy ears?

I've got a bottle of wine and 2 Easter eggs a bit of chocolate if anybody would like to share.
And I love Red hair (the word ginger doesn't do it justice).

[bushock] 'If you ain't on the list...'

Ohhhh yummers, now I have some lovely Easter fizz here somewhere...

...yes it is a bottle with ears taped to it, do you want it or not?...

Not all that secret!

I clicked on 'last 15 minutes' and it was right at the top! Then all you have to do is click on anyone's name....
