Back in the late 1960s ...But it's nothing new.<br /><br />Back in the late 1960s in your own dear city of Bradford, I dated a girl of Polish origins whose father was a local 'wholesaler' of underground 'moonshine', illegally-distilled clear spirits, a product relished in most homes and clubs of the many Polish and Hungarian immigrants. <br /><br />It could probably strip varnish at 20 paces, but it was certainly popular going by the stock-level in his cellar. <br />And yes, it was distilled in Bradford too - chances are the still's still stilling...... but I won't grass them up by telling where it was/is, she was a very fun girl, I owe her that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
