The message
from "Mike Lyle" contains these words:

Vot about the rum to go with the C C


Not even rum can make CC drinkable.


I'm with you there, 100%. (If nor more)

Now *A* CC is another matter: a cocktail consisting of coconut water,
freshly-squeezed orange juice, grenadine and white rum.

Met it and fell in love with it on a small Italian cruise liner which
was docked at Tilbury. A friend was resident keyboard player and I
dropped by to see him.

I can't remember what the ship was called, but she had been sunk during
the war, raised afterwards, repaired, refitted and was still doing
Caribbean cruises at the end of the 'seventies. A very pretty ship.

'CC', BTW, is pronounced Italian-style - 'Chi-Chi'.
