No classical gin-and-tonic drinkers had ever seen a lime twenty years ago; now there are watering-holes where lemon is no longer available as an alternative. Some barmen, who must have trained under the Borgias, compound the offence by rubbing the forbidden fruit round the rim of the glass, obliterating any faint chance of tasting the gin. This is one of those iconic issues that divide society along Cavalier and Roundhead lines. The battle lines are drawn. Which side are you on?
