    It was not a riddle, Rob. Just my attempt to find a nautical drink with some link to Christmas that we had not seen before. There are many examples of inaccuracies in Christmas songs, even recent ones like Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas".

    If you check the spelling, you will see that this is not a new book by Bernard Cornwell. :)

    That one gave me a chuckle Dave.

    Mrs K, just said she missed her Sharpe at Christmas. I think she meant she missed Sean.

    The only nebulous link I could find at the drop of a Gin bottle was this one.
    Well it's green and it's Sea soldier, ans as far as I remember we have not had it before!
    Happy Boxing day Dave.

    I am afraid that we have seen that before, Rob. You posted it yourself in #267. Of course in Sharpe's day the marines wore red coats. In one of the novels Richard Sharpe fought at Trafalgar but that adventure never made it onto the t.v. because it 'happened' before Sharpe joined the 95th Rifles.

    Another beer from Sharp's Brewery is called Cornish Coaster.

    Here is a drink, which I have wanted to post here for a while but finding a picture of the label was difficult because I think it is out of production. It honours H.M.S. Sheffield.

    Shame about the spelling mistake (unless they really did mean shinny, although thats not a manoeuvre I'd expect a light cruiser to be particularly good at)

    I think it must be a spelling mistake and it should be 'Shiny Sheff' unless it is a local peculiarity. The cruiser H.M.S. Sheffield was the first ship equipped with radar and she had a distinguished record in W.W.2.

    Here is another famous ship. the Turbinia. Turbinia was the first steam turbine-powered steamship. Built as an experimental vessel in 1894, and easily the fastest ship in the world at that time. She could travel at a maximum speed of 34.5 knots, which is faster than many modern ships.

    That one was on my list, Rob, but you beat me to it. Launched at Harwich in 1895, Centaur spent her early life in continental trade and later shipped grain and linseed oil on the East Coast. She is now owned and operated by the Thames Sailing Barge Trust.

    This is an interesting one:

    The M.B. Molliette was a concrete barge built in 1919. After an undistinguished career as a barge, she was used for target practice and sunk off Mersea Island in 1942.

    So does this one. This beer is brewed exclusively for the 'Sunny Sailor' pub in Maldon.
