Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Harvey’s bristol and stones ginger wine will always have a place in my heart, they’re the only thing that made lunch at my mother in laws bearable But then I live near bristol n can see Wales out of the window so I was always gonna fall into the trashier camp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on a ship once back in the good old days when we had booze except this particular one was down to a case of Harveys Bristol Cream. One Sunday about 6 of us drank the lot. Spent about 12 hours straight tied to the loo. Horrible stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 My OH has small silver talismans that she bakes into mince pies. Apparently the talisman you get indicates your luck for the year. She marks the pies with them so she can warn innocents that they have lumps of metal in them. She inherited them from her mother and there were 12 now only 11. First Christmas at future mother in law saw the mince pies dished out. Now I can't stand the bloody things but being a polite boy I scarfed one down and washed it away with a slug of Scotch. Sadly the talisman went down too and nobody was that keen to try and recover it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True though, as we still have 11 of the silver bits which get dug out of the loft every year along with all the other Christmas decorations. Apparently my wife's family have been doing this for yonks but only I had the crassness to actually eat one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
