Top Deck

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

I can remember when I was 13, my mate and I would go in to our local shop and buy a can of Top Deck lemonade shandy. We couldn't beleive that it actually had tiny amounts of alcohol in it and was available to children. Other flavours included cider and lager and lime.

    I remember saving the ring pulls from the cans of Top Deck to get a single (those black shiny things that played music). Must have drunk about 250 cans of the stuff to qualify for my single.... Iron Maiden - Wasted Years!! [ironic title considering]

    An ice cold can of Top Deck cider shandy was a favourite of mine as a kid. Anyone remember those big red gobstoppers that came in a pack of three? I can't for the life of me remember what they were called.

    I used to buy top deck from a man called Jackie who used to speak to the pensioners in his shop in a terrible manner. He would also con them into buying all sorts of stuff they didn't actually need. Lovely man. My dad once threatened him for selling him rotten onions. Fact.
