[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6175462, member: 4505"] Cydrax? I do remember the cider bar in Newton Abbot. Basically, a roofed over cobbled ally with barrels along one side and a bench on the other. Oh, and a dribble of sawdust in the central gutter for those who spat! Cider, sir? Yes, but which? Sweet? Dry? Ropey? Half-and-half? As many varieties as there are wines in the supermarket today! I think a pint was a bit more than 10d (that's about 4p in today's money) and not many would drink two pints and walk out steadily. Cider addicts were easily spotted by their red faces and blue noses caused by the methyl alcohol it contains. There are lots of stories about cider as most farms supplied it as part of the labourers' wages. 'Tanglefoot". Removes all feeling from the lower legs. But far better than beer for quenching a thirst. [/QUOTE]
