Default Bon Accord

Bon Accord lemonade lorries up here. Didn't get it at home but when on holiday at my grandparent's in Elgin the lemonade was always well stocked . If you ran out a quick walk to the depot at the bottom of the road.
Now my favourite was their ginger beer but their limeade or cola wasn't too bad either. Had the odd bottle of creme soda too but my brother didn't like that.

Another bonus was taking the bottles back and getting to keep the 'bottle deposit' funds. Always put towards another Dinky toy from the Toy Shop at top of the High Street. Think it was MacKenzies and they always had a good stock of Dinky and Corgi die cast toys.

Ah...happy memories..
