It was my bday last week and I was desperate for a good old fashioned lemon top. Alas, even though they sell those at basically every seaside town on the coast of NE England, we apparently picked the exception.

Got this lemon swirl as a backup and it was pretty good, ngl. It was no lemon top though, I’m still a bit salty a week later.

    I’ve never heard of a lemon top (not a Northerner, maybe its regional?), but that looks lovely! Happy birthday :-)

    I grew up in a seaside town and I’ve never heard of a lemon top. Is it just a NE thing?

      Don’t want to derail this as definitely wrong thread - but can personally recommend Aberystwyth (where I went) and Bangor which both supposedly have good accountancy courses and are both good student towns (high concentration of students to locals during term time). Cardiff and Swansea are ranked a bit higher though, and are also good choices if he wants the busyness of a major city.

    confession: i have 3 half gallons of my favorite flavors. eat 2 spoons and put it back. lasts about two months. repeat when it goes on sale again, or craving overcomes guilt. involves chocolate and brown butter/truffle. Happy Birthday!

      2 spoons?! Your willpower is off the charts. I’d need a whole separate freezer for a two month supply, but then I am very very greedy.
