Haliborange. There's a past blast. As extra at school some, like me, had haliborange and some had malt extract (some had nowt). Doled out by Matron after breakfast. I had not realised that the lucky buggers on the malt extract had it from a distillery.

(Although Lady I know, originally from enemy occupied Hibernia and much taken to extolling all things comestible and in medical care from that woodneck, did once prescribe poteen to small Plymouth Brethren child temporarily in her care. Child fine but maybe explains why mainly not Plymouth Brethren competing for the pews down there).
