Years ago whilst travelling from Sheffield to Devon we used to play games in the car to keep myself and sister amused. One of these was spotting landmarks ..the 1st to see certain things got the points. Well I got very good at this having located objects before them. One was the Babycham Bambi on top of the building so one trip I went there it is ........gone lol they had taken the Bambi down and my cleverness was discovered

Mary I used to have a friend drink brandy and babycham she used to have to buy 2 rounds to my 1 lol
When we had the pub I used to get a crate of babycham in for a regulars mum each Christmas he used to take half home with him as that's all she would drink, The last year I was there the youngsters hit the babycham with brandy and I had to beg other pubs for some !

let us know if you find it
