    Bombay Sapphire is the Glenfiddich, or Toyota Camry of gins. Better than many but more a useful starting point and basis of comparison for one's journey of discovery.

    Plymouth Gin and Mr De Kuyper's fine beverage ply the palate altogether differently to the stuff in the Blue Bottle. Then there are the delights of the Whitley Neil London Dry Gin, Fresh off the boat from a trip to the USA, with a modest night on the tiles of San Francisco, one discovered a gin made by a local distillery, with a singularly uninspiring name like Distillery 209, if my memory serves me well. The gin was marvellous, and the bar tender did indeed know how to assemble a damned fine G&T. The T being Schweppes, of course.

    I'll be down in Wellywood and looking you up roundabout New Year's, then?



    I should also note that I drive a Toyota Camry, and that any comparison of Bombay Sapphire to that pestilential paintstripper known as Glenfiddich must be classified as pure hyperbole.

    I have ushered Chrissie - Bimbo out the door to procure the correct ingredients for a G&T.

    Luckily we already know the recipe - which rather remarkably matches that of jrandoms!!.

    I have seen it done.....Mikkel got through a bottle of Appletons by himself, no coke added, drank straight from the bottle. That wasn't the only shit he was drinking either.

    Me on the other hand...I just fall over and fuck my shoulder!

    Just don't order anything fancy if you're in an Aussie pub - you are likely to get a bill like this:
