The scene was on Nathan Rd just south of Waterloo Rd, looking North along Nathan Rd.  The four-story building on the left was at the intersection of Nathan Rd and Waterloo Rd. This four-story building was long gone. The soft drink brand "Green Spot" (see the delivery truck) had long gone too.

You can still buy it, albeit in carton form, from 7-11 etc

nothing quite like a chilled green spot out of the bottle, almost as orange as freshly squeezed stuff.  i have tried the carton variety on more recent trips to hk but somehow it has lost some of its magic

A Green Spot store can be seen here.
