The lemonade man

[Dougie Do'ins]

Always knew it as 'lemo' or the 'lemo man'. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Lemo meant all the fizzy stuff in general when describing the fellas who delivered it,but you could get loads of different flavours if you wanted.

[stringvest]

Not sure when Lucozade got all trendy all I can ever remember about it is that it had some horrible gold coloured film around the bottle that always got sticky 

 

 

 

It was the Alpine man for me , he used to deliver every Saturday....and you'd always try and nick a couple of bottles while they were all off the wagon doing deliveries.

 

 

 

that's what we used to get.  You could fill a bath with it for 28p.  That lorry driver must have ended his day with a load of empties and about 75p in his cash bag. 

 

Tasted like a fat lad's enema.

You could take that wrapper off the lucozade you know....

It was great being a kid. We had the lemo man, the icy (ice cream man if you're a wool) who'd do blag VHS, and we even had a candy floss man and Mrs Huyton's van who was essentially a convenience store on wheels.

The mobi. 

 

Not forgetting the rag & bone man with his horse and cart.

Liverpops was the lemo man near me. All I ever used to buy off the mobi was foot long sherbet straws you'd have to chew the plastic ends off because the ends would clog up and giant ice pops the plastic would give you a chelsea smile. I drank bleach out of a liverpops cream soda bottle, my nan was a cleaner and used to steal the bleach by putting it in the cream soda bottle then the dopey cow would put it with the other lemonade bottles.

The icey man, ie Vinnie? He also sold banana flavour ice cream IIRC.

And there was one that used to come round about 9.30-10.00pm on Fridays and Saturdays who had cherry flavour chewies in his screwballs. Wonder if he sold contraband at that time of night?

'Over in the west' (of Scotland) all fizzy drinks are referred to as 'ginger', although I don't ever remember seeing anyone drinking ginger fizzy drinks. Weirdos

[Fugitive]

Our Lemo man did big bags of sweets as well and Saturday nights were boss because you'd rent the latest film on VHS.

 

P.S. anyone who calls lemo 'pop' is a woolyback nonce and should be drowned in a bath full of piss.

Irn Bru is ginger.

Mmmm? Nah

Why do you all call fizzy drinks, juice? It pisses me off and will ultimately be the reason I finish with my bird if she keeps doing it.

While I'm at it...

 

'Jags' for injections... wrong.

 

The list is pretty endless to be honest and I needed to get this off my chest.

[Champ]

As an incomer I'm with you on 'juice' and 'jags' and probably most of your other ones but the one that really distresses me is the pronunciation of 'J'. Arrggghhhhhh!

It sounds like G, the weirdos.

 

I'm considering moving up permanently but I'm unsure if I could cope with all the weird sayings and pronunciations every single day.

Noo! Pronouncing it to rhyme with 'why'.

 

But on the second sentence, yer just being silly now

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.

Yeah, I didn't mean everyone says it, which is kind of what makes it worse when you do hear it...you've half forgotten about it and then out it comes like nails down a blackboard.

 

Almost as much as when my husband says 'brew' and 'pop' just to annoy me. At least that's why I think he does it

How the hell has the Scotch mafia taken over this thread as well???

My nan used to use leftovers for cleaning stuff occasionally too. The colour,smell and no label on the bottle helped me avoid drinking the stuff though.
