Corona soft drinks Hi David, I'm not sure if you will see this but I am married to one of John's sons, Steve. He was really interested to read your post about his dad, John Badcock and his mum Dorothy. Its lovely to hear that you have fond memories of your time with them. John was such a character wasn't he? Ther are so many funny stories about him. I must admit I wasnt aware that he ran away from home and his father was abusive. Did he tell you this or was it Dorothy? I would love to know if you know anything else as Im trying to compile the family tree for our daughters. I do remember seeing Corona bottles all over the house and there was a time when John put petrol or somthing similar in one of the bottles and my husband drank some of it thinking it was pop!
