  Slightly random request but is there anywhere in Dover with a real Slush puppie machine? Dave in the computer shop has a generic one but it's got to be a real one. It's for a quest style competition my mate is doing. Thanks for any help!
  I think we are all guinea pigs in the middle of an experiment for which they have forgotten to set up a control group!

  Good luck with your search. [the machines appear difficult to come by.]

  Many of the newsagents/convenience stores have them nowdays but theres so many different makes.You might be lucky to find a genuine one but i expect theyve all been cleaned out for the winter months.Would be worth a look.

  The slush and flavour are now mixed before dispensed, a serious flaw.
  
  Basically they were a ice 'slusher' that produced a dilute to dubiously coloured/flavoured syrups. They were a big deal in the 80s but I have not seen a genuine one for years.
  
  I used to have them at Butlins Bognor Regis, just before I had to go on stage for some ridiculous father/son lookalike competition. Always my mum's idea!

  Reg, read the next sentence very carefully.
  
  I am not, repeat not, suggesting you buy.
