A 90ft drop and a very famous bottle

[strike it rich]

Whilst walking along the cliffs looking over I saw the 90ft drop and there on a ledge about two feet down the bottle caught my eye.

Lying out flat stretched my arm down and retrieved the bottle getting back on my feet I moved back from the edge of the cliff and examined the bottle.

Foster Clark Ltd Maidstone Eiffel Tower Lemonade immediately it rang a bell.

So here is the bottle and the links that tell the story of it

Glad you got it safely, I could imagine the coastguard story of saving the guy clutching for dear life the bottle that nearly killing him. saying 'don't worry the bottles safe'

Good point Crusader safety first and all that

Not really, I have to walk on the edge of drops, if half my foot isn't over the edge I don't feel right. I can walk a thin balance beam or a hand rail across a foot bridge, normally drunk. I'm probably the last one you want to speak to about safety. To win a race in Greece on a school trip I run off a 40ft cliffe, thanksfully the rocks I landed on were flat. No injury until I tried climbing back up & slipped & cut my knee. I was awarded the lemming award (A pen which I still carry in my pocket 20 years later).
