I have just come across this post and I must say I am so pleased I did for it has given me the confidence to start making my own floats. It’s Champagne and Strawberries all the way.

These float making skills have been sharpened and honed to perfection for over 60 years. The results speak for themselves.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Ok! I’ll admit I’ve got a way to go before this type of perfection but I’ve got youth on my side! :Hahaha:
