On the table: The Barbary

 Despite being educated to degree level in geography, I couldn’t quite place the location of the Barbary Coast. Perhaps the Regal Rogue Lively White Vermouth was working its magic rather too quickly? Ah, but what do geographers cherish more than colouring pencils? The answer lay beneath the other tasty Vermouth I ordered (Cocchi Americano Rosa – just to compare, obviously): a map of the coast in question. It showed the stretch where North Africa meets the Mediterranean; namely the shores of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
