Hi Allan~~
That's an old one ;-)
There used to be a night club in Caerphilly called the Double Diamond. :-)

Energy drinks

Fried Rice

Sandie, I did for a brief, glorious, period work at the Wilsons Brewery in Manchester. I was a lab technician ine Red Barrel Section. Red Barrel was a ' national' keg beer produced by Watney's in London but also produced by other various local breweries such as Wilsons. The beer was a main competitor for Draft Double Diamond. Part of my job involved taste testing. I was 16 at the time :-D

Hi all~~~

Oh yeah !.... 16 and a lab technician Allan , and I am a fighter pilot ;-)

There did seem to be competition with beers at that time, well I suppose there always is and will be ...Ciders seem to have a go just now , I noticed the adverts on TV.

Gala apples

Haricot beans

Sandie, a job title does sometimes not really describe the actual work done :-D

I believe the tasting side was done at 16 :-D ...just that it was not part of a job ;-)

Irish coffee

lol Sandie,

Kegs of Red Barrel produced at different breweries in the Watney Mann chain were sent to Wilsons (just as RB produced by Wilsons was sent to the other producers) and we tested for taste and colour to ensure consistency. It was a blind testing so we didn't know which keg came from where.

It was during this period of my life that I fell off the open platform of a double decker bus as it turned a corner :-D Fortunately for me, there was not much following traffic....and yes, just prior to this I had been doing some taste testing!!!

Jarlsberg cheese

Hello Julie

lol Sandie I left school at 16 but went on to College (Salford Tech) when I was 18 to do my Health Course. Back in those days Environmental Health was not offered as a Degree Course except at Aston Uni but even with a degree graduates still had to obtain the Diploma as that was the qualification stipulated by law.
