Sponsors were still rather shy and we nearly got a huge sum
from a local drink company with its distinctive brand, 'Corniche
Pastis'. All sorts of folklore surrounds the origin of this
interesting and relaxing spirit. Some say it was drunk by miners
in the days before alchopops others swear that it has a different
flavour at one end of the bottle to the other and some actually
believe its origins were in the far north, north of Finnisterre
(the end of the world) made by 'Brightons' or 'Bretons'.
