Renowned for being mother to England’s Queen, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was fond of a drop or two of gin. She also loved horse racing and would often spend time at the track gambling and sipping expensive booze. She also had a stupendous collection of fancy hats that were the envy of other old ladies around the world. As befits a person born into wealth and privilege she received the best medical treatment money could buy. This probably explains why she lived for so long. Its either that or the gin; perhaps a bit of both. Well there’s a recipe for long life:
Take two Harley Street Doctors, mix with a good measure of pure English gin, add a couple of ice cubes and a dash of tonic and hey presto you’ll pass the century mark with no trouble.
Just watch out for fish bones!
