Unplugged



An early night is called for.
Either that or I will have to acquire a taste for


Lucozade, known as Glucozade until 1929 and marketed as
a source of energy for people with common illnesses with the slogan 
'Lucozade aids recovery'.
Later losing its sickroom associations the new slogan read,
'Lucozade replaces lost energy.'

  4. As children we knew we were poorly when my mother bought us a bottle of Lucozade. We loved it (although it's one of those tastes that is a bit of a rude shock when re-experienced as an adult!) and the orange cellophane was treasured for making things with or just for looking through at a golden world.

    But being really really ill (e.g. measles, with a new baby on the family) meant home-made beef tea.....

  5. You jolted a memory of a Sunday school trip, me so travel sick, being persuaded to drink Lucozade. I still avoid bus trips.
