Merci E-S, but I think you have the wrong Island in your sights.

The one you must mean does have native liqueurs of different flavours. It is veritable scarred with the the evidence of your countrymen's influence, unlike this Island. Nevertheless they would have remained unknown apart from bagpipes, incompletely constructed and poorly played, had it not been for Smeaton, Brindley, Telford, the Brunels et al. Brains to guide more westerly braun.

We do have a home grown wheel, lades and a small stretch of dual carriageway. So if your lot did get here they didn't do very much (but I am sure Okells and now Bushy's would dearly like you try again, just leave the picks and shovels behind).

(I think hooch making was dropped when smuggles cognac became easier to broach. Only recently have we tried again - I understand IMO are researching it as low greenhouse fuel. I am not sure they can be right, if looks like MDO, smells like MDO and tastes like MDO ............ (C19 gave them a lifeline, marketed as hand sanitiser, it tasted no better).
