I know an orange juice and lemonade as a Henry
(although some call it a St Clements, strictly that's orange juice with bitter lemon).

Never heard it called a Henry before Where does that come from El ?

It's called a Henry in parts of the country particularly Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. It's not known why but it has been suggested that it originated at the Corinium Hotel & Restaurant (originally Corinium Court) in Cirencester and that it was named after a local by that name.  Cirencester is in Gloucestershire but not far from the boundary with Oxfordshire so that suggestion is plausible.

I know the area well........ not that well obviously

I found this comment elsewhere : Orange and lemonade is called St. Clements because of the popular English nursery rhyme titled Oranges and Lemons. In some parts of the United Kingdom the drink is now called a Henry because of King Henry VIII's association with Saint Clements.

I remember doing it once when boiling eggs.....OMG! the stink was horrendous

My Dad has a wee pig timer clock...I might have to get me one of those

Afternoon Slim and EFFT Sounds you have both had a fun time. I  had a terrible night ....my arm hurt like hell , and woke me up about every half an hour . Plus , because I couldn't sleep the way I normally would , my ankle hurt too .....so all in all it was a very miserable night But I feel a bit better today , although I'm very tired , so I’ve done very little today ....just a small load of washing and cleaned the kitchen . I didn’t fancy much for lunch , so just had some cold meat and chips . I hope you are all having a nicer Sunday than me .
