The lemonade man

Not everybody in Scotland pronounces their Js like this, I certainly don't.

 

Fizzy juice is juice though & jags are injections, I think the second one is used more commonly when a child is getting their jags because it sounds less scary than injections. You don't hear people saying they got jags in their mouth when they got a tooth out for instance & when my Mum (who is diabetic) uses her insulin, she calls them her injections.

If I were a bairn I think I'd rather know I was going for an injection. Going for jags sounds like I was being taken to have my coupon ripped if but rabid dugs.

Sounds more like you're being dragged along to a Partick Thistle game.

 

Which is probably worse than having your face ripped off by dogs.

Remember when I was a kid and went to my mum's mate's house in Widnes and she asked what I wanted to drink and I said 'lemonade'. And she was like, 'do you mean 'lemonade' or some other kind of pop, because I know in Liverpool it can mean different things'.

The one kid I knew who had it was super poor and carried a bottle of home made roller cola about with him.

 

Kids used to take the piss because his dad made his own pickled onions but it's something I want to get into

Correct. It was properly embarrassing. We had it because you could save money compared to the branded drinks that everyone else had

Johnny Vaughan had someone from Armagh working on his talksport show and he used to take piss out of him about calling lemonade mineral.

We never had one of these mythical lemonade delivery men in Dublin. 

 

But funnily enough back in the 80's, fizzy drinks would be called minerals.
