There's a large wooden Vimto statue on Granby Row in Manchester opposite UMIST- I believe the drink was first produced on this street. I used to live in Granby House a few years ago, but live much further South now- anyone living in Manchester care to take a photo (you really can't miss it, its a large wooden statue of a Vimto bottle and the fruits etc that make up the drink) and upload it to the page? There can't be many soft drinks with a statue in their honour! Found this page [1] with a pic --The globetrotter 00:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terminology

JNN is currently referred to as a 'wholesale druggist' in the article. Can anyone suggest a more appropriate title for his initial business activities rather than this Americansim. It seems awkwardly used and is certainly suggestive of inappropriate activities in modern language! The globetrotter 18:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I suppose the appropriate term in British English would be "dispensing chemist", although this terminology may only further confuse the truth for many readers. Since both terms refer simply to pharmicists licensed to fill a doctor's prescriptions, perhaps "wholesale pharmacist" would be the most practical wording, albeit slightly less accurate. Though to be honest I'm not sure whether such concern over negative connotation is warranted here. ~ ElCharismo 18:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
