That's another drink I like. I don't see as much around now though  I used to love one of those small cans with me pork dinner on a Sunday  

Pork and apple, that's a good combo.

You're right though, I haven't seen Appletise around as much recently.

Blimey Lee, I'd  be frightened to get the Waterford ones out  I've got some Waterford glass ornaments that mam got from peeps at work when she retired and I'm almost frightened to handle them to clean them

I can't stand long thin glasses - we have some liqueur glasses that look fabulous ... but they are so small at the top that I can't get my nose in them

 

I hate them  

I have some lovely really big wine glasses .............we stopped using them a while ago ............too big a glass can be dangerous. Nice but ..............................I don't need any encouragement - I tend to use the uber wine glasses for dessers these days!

I've got Edinburgh Crystal ones (wedding present) - they've been up the loft for 30 years because we're too frightened to use them.

In all honesty i think you should use them and enjoy them. I don't believe in stashing things away because they're valuable. Get them out ............if you only use them on special occasions OK - but you really should use them and enjoy them IMO.

 

If they get broken c'est la vie..................far better than being in a dark dust attic and then your kids use/abuse them when you're gone!

 

GET EM OUT!
