I guess that would be the Corona man, I also remember the lorry coming and the anticipation of some spring top bottle of pop, about the 1950's/early 60's.

We had Dandelion and Burdock when we were in Cyprus.... Can't for the life of me remember where we got it though but most likely Lysiotis in Episkopi, Limassol.
Very disappointing though as none of it tastes like I remember it as a kid. We had Wild's D&B. It came in big bottles with a black screw top that had a big rubber bung inside it.

Corona and R Whites were our local brands in S London.
I bought D&B only last year in a can from a local Paralimni cash & carry, they do get to sell end of run, overstocks and short life stock so not something they might have very visit.

A shop sells it on Mesogi Avenue. They sell a lot of British stuff. It is a bit before Pop Life on the left, as you are coming out of Paphos.
