In East Lothian I seem to remember “Globe” juice vans. 5p for a returned bottle.

Can't recall that brand

Loanhead. Must have been Lothians only. We had Bon Accord as well.

There were handful of local juice companies in Dunfermline. Mitchell’s and Hendry’s come to mind. Barrs was always everywhere. I thin Bon Accord was a delivery, don’t remember it being in shops. From Aberdeen originally I think

Defo fae Aberdeen but had a depot in Arbroath, young lads hanging off the back as it bolted around town

reply

kenbarkway.bsky.social•110 days ago

I remember the boys delivering juice doing that. Shirts off as soon as it was above freezing and jumping on and off moving trucks

I remember the days. 'A whisky & lemonade please'. 'What sort?' 'Globe!'

I remember as a young ‘un when the Corona lorry came blasting round the corner by our house and shed a load of crates. Big crashing noise, glass and pop everywhere 🤦‍♂️

Never got them up this way, aw Bon Accord

We got Alpine in Aberdeen for a while.
Didn’t last long though.

wesellboxes.bsky.social•109 days ago

There was Alpine in Dundee too. Not sure if they were able to take much market share from Bon Accord either.

We had the local alternative for oor "bottles o ale" - Hay's Lemonade - delivered every Thursday.

We had Currie's down in Dumfries

reply

miceforlent.bsky.social•109 days ago

I remember those, in fact, a little further back than Currie's, there was Mcmichael's lemonade, made I think in Gretna.

Great labels, and some exotic flavours. Grapefruit Cup 👌

reply

mockchopped.bsky.social•110 days ago

The sound of the rattling crates was louder than the truck. The dimples on the bottles. The raised Bon Accord logo. The labels which were impossible to peel off. The absolute lack of the words ‘sugar-free’ on anything. The gentle fizzing of tooth decay after you’d supped a full bottle of Red Kola.
