The top quality Blackcurrant squash or 'high juice' is fantastic stuff Reg, I've no idea of the qualities of it at warding off man flu, but ti wouldn't surprise me, I have a variant strain of the man flu, contracted from the gf, who allegedly has 'the bad aids', don't think I'll worry it'll have morhped into man flu!
One of the hazards of sticking your tongue down bird's throats I'm afraid.
High juice is perfectly acceptable, but a typical bottle of Co-Op high juice is 35% blackcurrant ...whereas cordial seemed to have a higher concentration as I recall.
When I were as an under age drinker, I suppose 16....I used to like rum and blackcurrant.....I suppose it was a bit like an alcopop, but once I got onto ale, I stopped drinking it.....maybe time to revisit.
