Glass coke bottles! If we'd stuck with glass bottles, we wouldn't have plastic in our seas & filling landfills. Remember the cream at the top of the glass milk bottle? Those were the days

Kinda mad thinking there were electric trucks everywhere back then delivering milk door to door. Feels like it ought to be something in the future, but it's long in the past now.

Keep em coming, lovely to watch

I loved the enormous barrel with the tap straight out of it in the middle of the bar! Original hipster cool!!! 😉

The only reason the soft drink duty came in is cos the Vintners Association had enough pull and wanted alcohol to seem better

And the sugar tax we have now?

Having enough dosh to have a drink once in awhile or enjoy community in a pub, seems a reasonable way to enjoy life's small pleasures. Rich business men ,still causing consternation on both sides the pond. Ironic, isn't it?

Down with this sort of thing!

Sure whats new? More taxes and a reduction in wages....surprise surpise

I guess someone had to pay for Charley Haugheys extravagent chartvet shirts and who better than the taxpaying mugs of Ireland! Yes indeed I have grim memories of those dark days when they screwed ordinary workers like myself into paying nearly 60 pence in the pound income tax on a modest wage , I couldent afford a car until I was 24 years of age in 1986 and could only afford 3rd party insurance on a fiesta for 400 quid! ah yes the good old days!

Far better than today in many respects the younger generation hates people like you because all ye do is whine and complain about how bad the past (usually the 80s) had been, omitting anything positive. I'd take a Haughey any day over this shower or bastards

So many Irish in the UK and Scotland then. My neighbour in Glasgow Mike was from Donegal but worked as a tunneler all over the UK. Bloody hard work but he made a fortune compared to what he would have earned in the Republic. Just about every construction project in the UK post war was built by the Irish.

Robin O'Sullivan there also at 01:30. He was later a TV presenter on Cork Multichannel and worked in PR but a the time of this video was working with Coca Cola.

Saying that farmers should pay more seems a little crazy to me, even for back then.

Some things never change.

Cork Multichannel's Robin O'Sullivan is one of the talking heads in Cork.

I remember Jim Fahy, western correspondent..
