IT’S the quietly disapproving stare from colleagues, optimising themselves like crazy; or concerned family members, surveying the current state of your mid-50s carcass. “What ... are you drinking?”
I am drinking a glass of Irn-Bru, thank you very much. Today, it is in diet form. “Diet! So they’ve added aspartame to the ammoniac acid. Why do you have a death wish?”
Questions, questions. But even before I found myself in a loving network of care and aspiration – really, I’m grateful my darlings,
I truly am – I always realised that to gulp publicly Irn-Bru was to be part of something bigger. And baser.
