Gin and tonic is the drink of the discerning GENTLEMAN.

Plebs.

Indeed, these uncouth philistines don't know what they are missing.

blurrrgh. Not nice

Admiral Sir fatiain sr. RN (rtd.) often has a G&T bofore dining. Made with either Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire gin.

Even better is Plymouth Gin, with water and a drop of pinkers (Angostura bitters), the favoured bevvy of Admirals and other Naval officers.

I've just had confirmation from an ex-Navy man who loves G&T who says that it was the drink of choice for commissioning officers and those in the higher rankings. Along with Pimms, apparently.

And I'd say those Navy guys are very definintely men!

My mum however, (ex WRNS) thinks gin (and tea) both smell like perfume but she drinks pints and wrestles bears.

I drink G&T. And there can be no doubts about my manliness.

G&T??? Homo gay drink tbh :cool:

Matblack · 3 May 2006 at 12:49

I agree with my portly pals Feek and Fatian G&T is a Unisex drink and I like mine with Bombay Saphire gin a lovely tipple. Pimms is nice too when it comes to alcohol I employ an equal opertunities policy

Rightly so. Poof.

G&T mings bad tbh. What about Pimms? is that gay (judging by the ads) or metro or something?

tom_nieto · 3 May 2006 at 13:08

Anyone can drink G&T. It's brilliant. Pint glass, lots of ice, gin and lime with tonic. Might have one this evening! I normally drink real ale by the way.

Otacon · 3 May 2006 at 13:09

The Pimms ads have done nothing for the image of it's drinkers.

What's this? Pink attire? Steps soundtrack? Leather underwear? I make that Pimms'o'clock!
