1936 Shaking in the 60's by Eddie Clarke

Champagne cooler. At least one. It always looks good, and can be used as a flower pot during the off"season.

Cork extractor (three pronged type are favourite). This is a tool made specially for getting a cork out of an empty bottle which you may wish to keep, if accidentally the cork has been pushed down into it. The samejob can be done, however, by dropping a loop of thin twine lengthways over the offending cork, and tilting the bottle up so that it can be manoeuvred and pulled out. Should it be the cork that is needed, climb to the top of Nelson's Column, drop the bottle, hurry down, and the cork can be picked up quite easily. Please note—keep an eye on the pigeons! Miscellaneous list of"Must Haves". One can opener or a gadgetfor opening tins offruitjuices; one nutmeg grater; an ample supply of Mossers, cherry sticks, drinking straws,stirrers (plastic or glass, for serving with Old Fashioned cocktails), drip mats (or coasters), paper serviettes,regular and plentiful supply ofclean glass- cloths; special dusters and cloths for cleaning ashtrays.

Finally, one spare pink elephant justin case any ofyour guests have taken too many aspirins and chased away his or her own particular pet.
