You’ll be the hero of the neighbourhood

Now it’s time to prepare a classic Singapore Sling in a highball glass. The retro glass, dating from the 1940s/1950s, features telling engravings. It belonged to my maternal grandfather—a true working-class hero and loyal GAIS supporter (the local team in Gothenburg, dating back to 1894).

He was also the neighborhood hero. Amidst the turmoil of World War Two, he served in his own resistance, attempting to prevent military forces from external powers from using our railway to wage a war of aggression against our neighboring country.
