I've nothing against pure orange juice - as said - I definately prefer it at breakfast to even the finest Hook Norton or Abbeydale

But orange squash?

"The ingredients vary, but in commercially made cordials and squashes the fruit content is generally low (less than 15 per cent of concentrated juice).
In addition to (a lot of) sugar and fruit, there are often preservatives, including sulphur dioxide (E220 which is potentially harmful for asthmatics), sodium benzoate (E211, linked to skin troubles), potassium sorbate (E202) and dimethyl dicarbonate (E242).

Colours are usually based on natural carotenes (E numbers 160-161), and are there to disguise low fruit content.
Added thickeners such as xanthan and guar gums prevent fruit-water separation but also hide low fruit content.

Note that "E number, EU-approved" additives are tested for toxins, not allergens.
Synthetic flavourings, which have no E numbers are often found in cordials.

Sorry - I don't go to a pub to drink cheap and very nasty stuff like this sold at exorbitant prices - what did you pay for a couple of pence worth of 'squash' topped up with tap water Aethur?

My main concern is that previously I knew I could have one drink of some wonderful guest beer and remain well within the legal limit - now I think that this will no longer be a certainty and, living in an area with no public transport, to lose my licence would be beyond inconvienience.

I think perhaps I'll stay at home and enjoy a glass of good wine instead
