    Mojito oooh! Sounds really good. Sod these bloody drugs. And, seeing that recipe, I realise I forgot one main ingredient – one or two big lumps of lime on top of ice!

    Many years ago, I worked backstage in a theatre in West End. At interval time, we’d all decamp to next door pub and consume what were known as “Eight-bob Specials”: large gin; large dry Vermouth; plenty of ice, lump of lime, top up with coke. Name came from price charged – eight shillings, if anyone remembers old, proper money!
