Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Another favourite of my Nans was Babycham. I was surprised that you can still buy it.

"Advocaat and lemonade" was what small children were allowed at New Year in our family. At some unspecified point we graduated on to Martini and lemonade, which I greatly preferred.

My nan used to make a mean snowball at Christmas. And we had babycham - probably both at new year. Christmas Day was shandy for me most years too. I’d probably drink the equivalent of about 2 pints of beer every year, but it was shandy so that’s ok ;-)

Never had a snowball nor a Babycham. Am I missing anything?

Babycham is my Christmas drink. I don’t like wine so have a 4 pack of Babycham, which I drink out of a Babycham glass Snowballs and Cherry B also feature.

Not with the Babycham, I'd say, but the snowball is worth a try

Cherry brandy! I'd forgotten that. I did buy some Babycham once as an adult, but only once.
