@kdfrawg My mother (from further north in Lancashire) says that neither Vimto nor hamster has a p. Mr I is from South Lancashire, and is in the p camp. Added to @ukhaiku’s input, we can start to postulate a band of invisible p across the country, somewhere around the north of the midlands. Research continues…

@hazardwarning We usually have a bottle in the house, but I don’t ever drink it. Mr I does occasionally. A bottle lasts years.
