Portello

this rings a bell,who made it ???

* Wow! I haven't heard that name in decades.

* Your dad may have nailed it----and Portello has 8 letters---that's the Hint Sir gave.

* This is for you Django:

Portello is a sparkling fruit-flavored soft drink, with a flavour similar to port wine. It originated in England ... Categories: Soft drink stubs · Non-alcoholic beverages

Canada dry

the best channa was available at Bettencourt's next door to Rama Krishna and Puma did not stop production late 1978

Bally:

It was not just the channa---it was that sweet, delectable "salsa" like sauce that Ms Bettencourt made and put on top of that channa that made it awesome. You're right! Best channa I ever tasted.

Rev

Your grandpa told you that?

Well, your answer is correct.

Congrats!!

Portello trivia: I can't remember drinking Portello in the 1950s; I remember seeing a case of empty Portello bottles in my grandfather's home at that time.

Portello is still consumed in some countries, sometimes with the Fanta label.

Hi Riya, sorry my dear I was out, left just after the first question/answer. Congrats on the correct answer

A good choice.

A piece of ice in limewash on a hot day, with salt biscuits, while cutting  and mashing rice, was a welcome treat.

Lemonade was the first bottle soft drink in Berbice and still in production.

The lemonade truck would get stuck on muddy streets and after assisting to push it out, we would be rewarded with bottles of lemonade.

Christopher the baker, did the same with his bread van.        

amazingingly someone way younger gave me the answer! I did a phone a friend. Credit goes to Freaky!

I still don't remember this drink.

thank you, sir!

Lime wash was an everyday drink at lunch. It was so refreshing.

I remember a lemonade truck from the Correntyne that would deliver to Canje. I think the company was Jai Jairam and Sons from Rose Hall. They were down the street next to Anthony's Inn.

I love Fridays; meaning I don't have to work on brain ticklers for the next two days.

Alright, let's shoot.

Give the full name of that foreigner and his nationality and give the exact date when the airport was officially opened. Winner is the first person with all three answers correctly. No second prizes today.

good morning

 Lieutenant Colonel Bert M. Atkinson

American

Anjali and Riya answer seems correct.

America leased the land for 99 years

from the British,terminated on MAY26,1966

Technically, Riya answered the nationality question correctly: American.

Your answer suggests the nationality. As I mentioned before, always read each quiz carefully.

I'm awarding the prize jointly to you and Riya. Y'all don't fight as to whether you get one-half or two-thirds.

Congrats!!

Thanks Sir Gil  I realised after about the nationality, sorry about that.

Riya, I would rather share with you than have it by myself

Our mystery thing is a labour-saving device of sorts. It is long and slender and hollow and takes the breath away from rural Indo-Guyanese housewives. Give the popular name of that thing.

Girl, you take my breath away. So fast, so right.

Congrats!!

I guess Riya is still on the phone consulting her Ma.

While you were looking around the kitchen, Anjali already found hers.

Thanks Sir Gil  I remember my mom using it  

Riya, you missed a good one

Good morning.

Heavy rainfall caused flooding in Georgetown and East Demerara over the weekend. So, our theme today is water-related.

The MMA scheme in East Demerara includes a reservoir which displaced a large indigenous people's settlement in the upper Abary River. What was the name of that settlement now under water?

Good morning!

Abary Village
