rainbow2411 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 My husband used to go to Cyril's everyday for his dinner, a tomato dip, cup of tea and a tuppeny Park Drive, leaving just 3d to play the Pinball, with a bit of luck he'd win enough replays to last all his 1 hour lunch, which would leave Cyril fuming. After dinner when the cafe cleared Cyril would get his screwdriver and try to fix the machine to stop anyone getting so many replays. His favourite drink at Goff's was Vimto, they used to make their own, they'd mix it in demi-johns which stood on the counter and sold it in really tiny glasses.
