Subject: RE: Folklore: thatcher's language (roofing)
Thatchers - half way compromise between the worst corporate fizzy cider pops and real trad farmhouse - is now usually 6%...

But factory standardization, pubs serving from 'bag in a boxes', trendy re-branding & mass media marketing campaigns,
have reduced it's variable potency and 'authenticity' in recent years....

[damn you thatchers gold and the trendy kids who demand it...]

When I was a boy in the early 60s, my dad's trusty supplier was the farmer who drove his transit round the estate once a week
delivering big glass flagons of his dodgy rot gut...

A dictionary of traditional cider press words, is next on my google agenda after dinner...
