My sister and I were allowed to drink Babycham when we went ballroom dancing with our mum and her best friend each Wednesday night. My dear old mum didn't think it was alcoholic,hence we used to get very tipsy, and had to pretend to be sober, as we used to have 5 or 6 each time we went. We were 14/15 at the time. That was in the early 70's.

LOL Sezit, yeah, it was my 'big thing' to have a glass of port or a Babycham on Christmas Day. I was being naughty and having a grown up drink which mam and dad let me have 

 

Mind you, I used to get a drink of either my mam's Double Max out of her pyrex cup every night before I went to bed, or a drink of dad's Brown Ale out of the glass

Youv'e just reminded me about a present I got for christmas, that drawing thing, it was an extendable arm thing, and you put the pointer on a picture, then you put your pencil in a hole and when you moved this pointer thing it "drew" the picture for you. Well that was what it was supposed to do, it actually just messed up your drawing paper. I could never get it to work.
