    Carolans Irish Cream (the registered trade mark omits the apostrophe) is a liqueur based on mead-wine (a mixture of whiskey and Irish spirits) and cream made in Clonmel, South Tipperary in Ireland.  It has a declared alcohol content of 17% or 14.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). The main components are cream (nearly 40%), mead-wine, and honey.



    Commonly used description.

    “Deep milky brown hue. Forward, spirity, whiskey-accented lactic flavors. A rich, milky attack leads to a moderately full-bodied palate with a touch of sweetness.”

    Cadburys Roses commercial from 1988

    Cadbury Roses are a selection of individually wrapped miniature chocolates, made by Cadbury UK that entered the market in 1938. They are named after the packaging equipment company that manufactured and supplied the machines that wrapped the chocolates, Rose Brothers (later Roses Forgrove), based in Gainsborough, England, who designed patented early packaging machines.

    Roses are inexpensive chocolates, containing a small proportion of cocoa solids, and a high proportion of vegetable fat. A large packet can be bought cheaply, making them a common stand-by gift choice due to the variety of contained chocolates. They are an extremely common gift on Mother’s Day and sell well throughout the Christmas period. They are available in tins, boxes or jars and currently contain 10 different varieties of chocolate:

    News Snippet April 1996

    Cadbury is axing its struggling Biarritz brand to make way for Darkness, its latest plain chocolate assortment, in an effort to rejuvenate the declining boxed dark chocolate sector.

    Biarritz appeared on the market ten years ago, replacing the ailing Bournville Selection, in a distinctive triangle-shaped box. It was supported by a 1.5m TV campaign through Gold Greenlees Trott with the Barry Manilow song “Bermuda Triangle” and the endline “strange things happen in the blue triangle”.

    British Rail advert from 1980 with Jimmy Savile.

    British Railways (BR), which from the 1960s traded as British Rail, was the operator of most of the rail transport in Great Britain between 1948 and 1997. It was formed as a result of the nationalisation of the “Big Four” British railway companies and lasted until the gradual privatisation of British Rail in stages between 1994 and 1997. Originally a trading brand of the Railway Executive of the British Transport Commission, it became an independent statutory corporation in 1962: the British Railways Board.
