I hate to say this, but for a mad few weeks in 1966 I left Ray and fell in love with Reg. It didn't last long. They cannot touch you for it, Ev, and Ray shall never hear of it from my lips. We had our own words for Wild Thing, but I'm not posting them here, at least not before the watershed, and definitely not before I've remembered what they were.[/quote]

Horlicks is brilliant. I've lived on it for weeks at a time (when I was too worn out with some ailment that was never really diagnosed, but it would knock me out for 2-3 weeks at a time - the kind of knocked out where you lie in bed planning a trip to the toilet for an hour because you can't work up enough energy to get out of bed), and it is a really good drink. But it's one that I'm not supposed to have now (due to Pottasium).

Trubbs is not to be trusted on the Horlicks issue...

Frankly, I can't understand anyone not liking Horlicks. There has to be some sort of failing I'm afraid. Something to do with the genes no doubt.
;D

Wasn't there a special Horlicks mixer in the seventies, in which you pump it up and down and it made it all frothy? Or perhaps that was some other experience. (my apologies)

(my apologies) Chris, my mum used to have one of those, but it was in the fifties! They probably resurrected it in the seventies. You've quite taken me back to my childhood. I might even buy some Horlicks when I next do my shopping.

Oh, the number of times I used to misjudge it and all the Horlicksy milk would come whooshing over the top of the glass jar.

I simply presumed it would 'enhance the experience of late night frothiness' as was promoted. I perhaps took it too literally.

One of these'll do then.

One of these'll do then. True. But the excitement of whooshing the Horlicksy milk over the top of the jar is too tempting.
