Just a sequence of unfortunate circumstances. Like the movie " Lemony Snickets series of ironic events?" I used to get the Corona virus every Saturday working at a boat yard on the broads 73 to 78, I'd supplement my teenager wages by collecting the empties from the returning holiday cruisers....it became almost fever as we often collected more 5p refunds than our total wages for the day. Try telling kids today........etc blah blah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,779 Posted January 31, 2020 Genuinely expected this to be a joke with a photo of some drunk Geordies with bottles of Corona in their hands when I opened the thread. Disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) There was a Corona depot in Bury in the seventies. I probably had my first Cherryade long before I’d even been to Newcastle . Now If that isn’t ironic I don’t know what is. Edited January 31, 2020 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,283 Posted January 31, 2020 Oh dear lord, it’s like going back 8n time....Corona Van, I was also hooked on Cream Soda, would go round all my nans neighbours collecting the empty bottles to sell back the the corona man......then buy a bottle of cream soda! Also I’m at a loss on any irony, in fact it’s nothing less than worrying as there’s no likely cure for up to 6 months if reports are to be belied could well kill off a few if not contained quickly, I can’t see any irony in that nor how any shut downs in this country would be handled.
