Fisherman's Friend

- A decade ago I had a comb as every days companion, not needed anymore 👴
- Also a lighter and cigarettes went with me everyday, also abondonded that habit long time ago.
- But what I inherited from those smoking time: I still always carry around a bag of Fisherman's Friend, to have always a fresh breath. The sugar free version that is (these bags are striped !)
- Fisherman's Friend is a brand of strong menthol lozenges manufactured by the Lofthouse company in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England.
- Fisherman's Friend was originally developed by pharmacist James Lofthouse in 1865 to relieve various respiratory problems suffered by fishermen working in the extreme conditions of the Northern deep-sea fishing grounds. Though he developed it as an extremely strong liquid remedy containing menthol and eucalyptus oil, Lofthouse later made the liquid into small lozenges, which were easier to transport and administer. According to the manufacturer, the fishermen began to refer to the lozenges as "friends", hence the name.
- FD 241 CEVIC is the most famous trawler around the world, if only for one thing: She IS the logo of Fisherman's Friend losenge's and is carried as a drawing on EVERY packet. Sadly she was lost in the Bay of Biscay on February 14 1991.
