As long as it's not soya milk, drink whatever you want.

I rarely drink tea or alcohol, and never drink coffee. I drink water, squash/soft drinks or hot chocolate. It never occurred to me that it might be childish. People I've hung out with in the past however often had a lot to say about what I drank. Usually the beer fans but sometimes the coffee snobs too.

I suppose we’re not meant to enjoy Jelly Babies either?

It's fine as long as you only eat the heads.

I drink squash pretty much every day.

Robinsons fruit and barley summer fruits .

This instantly makes me think of Tom Baker not only because his Doctor was always handing them out but because of a fantastic line he said "it's no good being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes"

I enjoy a nice sugar free squash and like Jawa sometimes even a hot one.

It’s where all the goodness is.

Absolutely right.

Hot ribena with a teaspoon of honey stirred in is also a great drink if you have a sore throat.

Can I just check: it’s OK to hang around playgrounds too, isn’t it?

You know those haribo adverts where the adults eating them regress to the mental state of pre-schoolers? It's the same thing. For jelly babies and squash.

In general, I think the mindset of "so and so is for kids only" is an older generation thing-millennials have very much held on tightly to their childhood passions as they've grown older, likely because the escapaism is needed when the economy has been crippled against us and the world is burning

Is that good or bad?

I've always got a bottle of squash in the flat. Ella doesn't like hot drinks, even if she does make a decent cuppa when I'm not well she normally has squash and I'll have a glass of it on occasion.

As a lad, we had that "basics" Sainsburys squash (awful)

What’s wrong with water as it is? Why do you need to add artificial fruit flavours to make it sweet enough to drink? Do you still put sugar on your cereal?
