Never tasted whiskey Larry,or many other wines or spirits. Probably because you could get a pint of beer for 1s 8d when I was old enough to go in a pub.
Didn’t fancy paying more for a tot in a small glass.
Cheers Dave.

You lived in England and got your water out of a well surely!! Cheers Dennis.
When I were a lad -here we go again! - we had no mains water. We lived in a bungalow with a flat roof and the rainwater drained into a concrete underground tank. There was a hand pump over the kitchen sink and my mother always boiled the water before we used it. I was around ten years old before our landlord decided to pay for a mains pipe to be installed.

Same with us Casey. My Dad used to collect drinking water in a milk churn from my Grandads house about a mile away. We only had property facilities such as running water when we moved to a council house in the village.
Cheers Dave.
I believe mains electricity came a couple of years earlier. Until then we had used a Tilley lamp (remember those?) and a hurricane lamp if we left the fireside. A decent stock of paraffin and candles were essential.

Yes Casey we had a Tilley lamp also another paraffin lamp with a glass chimney. I have still got one of those which I bought about 40 years ago in case of power cuts. Also had a wireless with accumulator etc.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
I did my last few years “in collar” working for the water authority,y and on the
odd occasion I’ve had to assist with the clearing out of spring heads at least
get the lorry as near as possible to cart the gunge away thankfully having the
use of the fitted grab to avoid having to handle a long dead sheep or some sort
of blockage at least I knew where not to go to get my kettle filled when out in
the sticks and in need of a brew. I’ll say no more other than if I depended on
spring or well water it would have the living daylights boiled out of it before it
got put down my throat.
thanks harry, long retired.
So that’s what made you turn to the bottle, H!
Luckily, there was a decent supply of cider & home brew in our area, plus us youngsters had the weekly visit by the “Pop Man”.
