" you find odd rums like the Red Duster Finest Navy rum, bottled in the 1970s by the company of J. Townend & Sons. That company officially got its start in 1923, but if you look at their filings you’ll realize they took over the assets of spirits merchant John Townend, which is much older. That company was formed in Hull around 1906 by John Townend, and over four successive generations has become a fairly substantial wine and spirits distributor in England, now called The House of Townend. Unsurprisingly, they dabbled in their own bottlings from time to time, but nowadays it would appear they are primarily into distribution. Rums like the Red Duster have long been discontinued, with this one gone for thirty years or more."
I can remember my family drinking this stuff!

Rum was the drink of choice among my grandparents' generation what with many of them being seafarers and orl!

Funny you should mention that. Old pics in my family went all over the place and not too many came my way, and annoyingly there are lots of peeps on them that I don't know who they are. I inherited a box of them from my Dad and among them may well be one of the Stanley.
But of course they are in the UK and we aren't.
I'll try to remember to dig them out and see.
I do remember ones of my uncle with a Ford Pilot.
The only person who could have helped me with the names was my Aunty in Canada, but she died recently so my last chance has gone as I have no other family, that I know that well, left.
I have tons of second cousins etc that I have never met including one that all my family say is just like me.:rolleyes:
We aren't good in my family at keeping up.:(

When Wifey worked for P & O on the cruise ships, when she went around the Caribbean islands she made sure when they stopped off that she bought a bottle of the rum from each island she visited.:D:D:D:D
If you get this stuff flown in, as it were, you must be Scotland's authority on it.
You should write a book!:D:D:D
