Ah, the old "alcohol as as a disinfectant" approach.


I tend to use this with great success in the winter - a glass of good Scotch disinfects the upper throat, keeping colds and coughs at bay - or alternatively contributing to curing colds & coughs. It's a multi functional excuse to drink good Scotch.

If it wasn't I'd be dead by now. Also love my G &T with a couple of slices actually.


It's very refreshing.

But since Hendrick's already has cucumber in it it I find adding it a bit less inspired. In my G & T it's lovely.


*It's the lettuce, always the lettuce.

helena - yay! Same as you, I sometimes throw in some cucumber to the mix.


I really like Tanqueray, also partial to Plymouth and the London one with the Beefeater on the label.


Not so keen on Bombay Sapphire for some reason. Haven't tried Hendricks yet. What happened to gin palaces? ;)

I currently have Hendricks and Tanqueray 10 on the go since they suit different moods. Hendricks is more gentle. The Tanqueray 10 is perfect on a Friday night when I really want a G&T. It has to be Fevertree tonic though - so much nicer than Schweppes or Britvic.


Sipsmith's gin is also rather nice. And I once had a bottle of Junipero gin which is made in San Francisco by the people who make one of my favourite beers, Anchor Steam, which was rather good too - quite aromatic but robust.


I do like Pimms but had a few Pimms accidents a few summers back so I'm now banned by my friends from making jugs. I intentionally introduced one group to Pimms Royale (where you replace the lemonade with champagne/cava) and inadvertently introduced another group to Pimms Mexicana (where you replace the lemonade with doctored stuff that someone had previously added tequila to)

    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
