It's strange, we used to always have cider at the end of a day's haymaking. I guess it was the only beverage you could 'take away' from the pub. There were no off-licences then. Two shillings a bottle, probably 2 pints. I've had some of the best champagne since then because of the job I did, but it could not compare with the cider we passed around when we all sat in the farmyard knackered after a day's work.
