Thank you Michael and Cynthia for another great interview!
How interesting Michael holland ! Like you I was brought up in south London , and remember bald wins so well me and my mum or my nan and grandad always went there for our sasprella ! My grandad used to take me down east lane on a Sunday morning to get the seafood for Sunday tea and he always took me to the sasprella stall to get my drink ! And how interesting it’s turned up in Mexico !!
I love the bit about standing at the counter like it’s a bar !
How brilliant that Michael met up with sarsparilla in Mexico !
Steve Geoghhan worked on the stall in East street . Good old days..
good story.
You obviously loved your Nan very much and this story shows that. I wished I was as loved by my grand children, but that was then and this is now.
My Nan had great stories x x well done Michael x x
