Corona fizzy drink in bottle with a strange top that flipped off and just hung there on a wire! The shrimp man that came round on a bike with a box on front. You took your bowl to him and bought shrimps by the pint for tea!
Real ginger beer in dark brown, nobbly bottles with a funny nipped neck and a crown topper. Woodman that brought logs for the fire round on his horse and cart and being allowed to 'drive' it when I was only seven!
