I met my good friend Prasanna Mendis in Melbourne, fairly late in the piece, and, by this time, we were only drinking Ceylon Tea. Please NOTICE, that, while &#8220;She&#8221; became &#8220;Shri Lanka&#8221;(the resplendant Isle), in 1972\/3, &#8220;Ceylon Tea&#8221; has remained, and always will remain, the very BEST tea in the World. Forget tea from anywhere else, and forget the &#8220;Brands&#8221;, ANY Ceylon-Tea, grown on the beautiful highland tea-estates, especially, would have to be the BEST non-intoxicating &#8220;brew&#8221;on the Planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #808000; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop digressing Des, &amp; get down to the bloody story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #808000; font-size: 20px;\">O.K., O.K., stop getting your &#8220;amudey&#8221; in a knot, &amp; I will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #808000; font-size: 20px;\">As we get-off the subject of tea, &amp; get-on to the &#8220;more- spirited&#8221; drinks, one of the &#8220;favourites&#8221; was Whisky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #808000; font-size: 20px;\">It was indeed a good drink if one wanted to be &#8220;frisky&#8221;later.

Maybe, a Gin &amp; Tonic might have been better.
