I wish they did it with lucozade also! I am il lat he moment would normally have a lucozade to feel better but it's full of artificial sweeteners now so vile!! get it away.

[retrocop]

Whats wrong with you then?

[wolf63]

Irn Bru is disgusting

[spathiphyllum]

Chesty cold.

As a kid me ma would prescribe me a lucozade but they are just not the same anymore.

[Old_Geezer]

Me too, but have no craving for Lucozade.
Just full of calories isn't it ?

[retrocop]

I was told by my late FIL who was born,educated and studied to become a GP in Edinburgh that the Scots had the worst diet and mouth hygiene in the UK, Children's teeth were rotten.
Perhaps less sugar is the correct way to go.

"Just full of calories isn't it ?"

I wish! Now it's full of fake calories :( (i'm not sure actually.. but yes that's part of the point OG)

"Scots had the worst diet and mouth hygiene in the UK"

I've been to scottland once and i didn't once eat something that wasn't battered.

[retrocop]

Yes I believe the Scots invented battering. It's called the Glasgow kiss!

[wolf63]

One of my brother's friends was horrified that a Pizza and chips in a Scottish chip shop consisted of pizza dipped in batter and deep-fried.

The thought of that makes me feel nauseous.

and how do they have the nerve to call it
original Lucozade ?

[spathiphyllum]

Exactly Johnny!!

[roopower]

I used to love Lucozade, remember the bottle being wrapped in yellow cellophane. The 'original' one tastes nothing like it used to, but I do like the orange flavour.

"We want full fat back, what they gonna do, phone the polis?"

Polis is an ancient Greek city-state - what on earth are they talking about?

If they mean police, why don't they type it correctly?

Polis is correct, it’s a Scots word for police

[Neveracrossword]

...and Polis, police, is definitely a real word - not just slang, not just colloquial. 'Polis - (Scotland and Ireland) the police' has been in Chambers dictionary for a long time.
