Thanks for this memory champion @twentyforty - I was working in hospitality all those years ago and used his book for recipes for cocktails all the time ✅

Me too. Was with a few friends and we found ourselves at the Chevron one night. Spotted Eddie behind the bar, asked him to mix us 4 of his favourites, even though I’m not a cocktail drinker. Told my friends it’s an opportunity to tick it off your bucket list. Eddie asked where we were seated. He could look at a person and know instinctively what they would like in a cocktail. Magic moment in time.

Always checked if there were any coins left in the reservoir at the bottom - sometimes was lucky. 👍

The trick was to jam crumpled up pages from the directory book up the coin return chute (ie so it wasn't obvious). I used to do this on my way to primary school & then check for a payout on my way home. Any success was promptly spent on lollies from the corner shop.
