I have some other stuff just called "Pokka" - though I suspect the
name is from the same root word - that's from Singapore, and is
basically Japanese style green tea in a tin - again though, very
refreshing.

 

and of course leading to the expansion of the marque BMW = "Bavarian
Shit Cart".

 

A few years ago R-R found this out just in time when they were about to announce a
a new model as the Silver Mist.
ISTR they rapidly renamed it as the Corniche but ICBW.

 

As usual, you are. It was the original name for the Silver Shadow,
following on from its predecessor the Silver Cloud.

Thats why I said ICBW, memories are often vague.
I sit corrected.

 

Your memory must be even worse than mine if you think it was 'a few
years ago' too. That's one of those stories I've known about all my
life, so must've been at least a few decades ago.
