    Congratulation! You are the first poster on AWIMB I have seen using the word 'problematic' in this context.

    Normally I expect to see it on a site I occasionally frequent with a predominantly left-liberal North American population.

    It's the ubiquity of orange squash as sugar delivery system that I most associate with the late 70s and early 80s. I just seem to remember it being what we drank all the fvcking time. Do kids even drink it anymore? They just seem to have cans of pop these days.

    The only time I heard the word pop was in The Dandy
    Normal people called them Fizzy Drinks

    The "best" one was the classroom based comedy where the entire programme was based around laughing at Johnny Foreigner and his/her attempts to learn the language.
