Hi! Glad you liked it. A past conservative leader once described something (cannot remember what) as 'Vimto British'! A taste of Britain and a taste of the 1950's and 60's before Coke and all that jazz.
Vimto went out of fashion during the 70's 80's 90's but is now gaining ground once more. Yet I still cannot get it where I live in Wales! I understand that they are presently trying to break into the American market.
Glad you married a British lass! Have you come across the mythical Radio Norwich? Very funny, worth a look.

"Radio Norwich"
You mean the Steve Coogan/Alan Featherstone thing? Hilarious. My wife enjoyed pointing out places of interest around Norwich that were used for location shots by Coogan. And I actually saw quite a few of those places while visiting Norwich last month. We saw a great many British landmarks on our trip like London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Stonehenge, Loch Ness, etc. But next time I want to see the big one: BLACKPOOLE!!!

I'm sorry, I meant Alan Partridge, not Alan Featherstone. Where have I seen that name?
