Bruce Juice is a new one on me Bob. I hope someone tells son or I'll be awake all night. THe last time this happened was when someone asked "Why is Orange Jam called Marmalade?"
|

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "marmalade" appeared in English in 1480, borrowed from French marmelade which, in turn, came from the Portuguese marmelada. Originally, according to the root of the word, which is marmelo or quince, a preserve made from quinces was intended. There is no truth whatsoever to the common belief that the word derives from "Marie malade", referring to Mary, Queen of Scots, because she used it as a medicine for upset stomach.

Those dogends that did the trip to Tasmania drank an awful lot of Bruce Juice on the Quantas flight from Heathrow, tasted an awful lot like g&t to me, I do recall that Bruce was not very happy at being asked for a Juice Bruce, but as we all know Aussies Boys Make More Noise Becuase they Play With Tonka Toys. can any old Chatham dogend recall where that was scribbed????

I must aplogise to greenfairy and others
I am of the old school D.O.B. 1954
When I was 'in' when there were no females in the Band Service
This will explain why I sometimes refer to people in the vernacular of my time.
e.g Him and He
I know, I know.........not very PC!
Thanks Andy for pointing this out.
I'll march myself into the DOMs office and accept his punishment.

Well Done MH!!!!
You are right.
The term was first applied by Fleet Band travelling to Austrailia in 1977 on the Quantas flight which took errrrrrrr.......a bloody long time. This flight included 4 stop overs in other countries to re-fuel and to let passengers on or off.
Every time this happened, the Quantas 'Boys' and girls of the flight crew would offer everyone Austrailian Orange Juice.
Even if you were asleep, they would nudge you and offer Juice.
After 20 hours of this, the term 'Bruce Juice' came into effect for OJ.
There are lots of Dits for this and the return flight and the stay in Hobart for the Tattoo.
Another time.................

This "bruce juice" is definitely a RAF thing. We had the same thing on the way to Hong Kong (Fleet band of course) 1983 ? (Did I get the year right Mr.Jumpig ?) NON STOP OJ, even when you were asleep. The crab split trolley dollys just poured it in mid snore !!!!
We only had one stopover, and that was Columbo. Smelly humid airport with the Michael Jackson 5000 pressed against the perimeter fence.
Anyway, just to cram a few more reflections/observations/dits into one thread, does anyone remember the Gib trips in a Hercules. We used to get OJ in those frozen pyramid shaped cartons, issued with the ear defenders !!!!!!!! Aarghhh !

and there was no booze bar in the Airport - the only way to get a beer was to buy a slab from the shop and share the tinnies out, we weren't allowed to take beer on the Aircraft so it had to be drunk first (shame) the beer was warm but hell, any port in a storm

Columbo.  There a place not to forget the only Crimbo  spent on distant shores in 25 years of service Columbo Crimbo 1960, but New Year 60/61 Singapore MUCH BETTER.

YEP !!! They were called Jubblys when I was a mere sproglet too. But the RAF nicked the idea, and it seemed to be exclusive to Hercs in the 80's, for some strange reason.
I remember you getting the beer in Columbo airport, Tommo !
By the way, wouldn't want to spend more time than I had to in Columbo. Hard luck Mick.
