CS,since when were those of us with certain antecedents required to join the "21st Century" - I have trouble remembering we are in it !
I find myself (troublingly) in the same corner as Beagle and OD - many and oft it was a choice? of gin, whisky, and water , with an orange juice lurking somewhere.
Only departure from that was at RN home, when whisky didn't feature.
Then of course the RN cockers P, where it was pre-mixed gin/bitters/water, until second jug onwards, when the water must have been on ration?
