ANTIGUA-BRITAIN-ROYALS-NAVY-LIFESTYLE

The chairman of the Royal Naval Tot Club and formerly a chief petty officer in the Royal navy Mike Rose (L) reads from the British history book during a daily toast meeting at Galley Bar in Nelsons Dockyard in English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda, on September 17, 2022. - In the quickly fading light of a rainy Antiguan dusk, Mike Rose, chairman of the Royal Navy Tot Club, leads a circle of loyalists in raising their daily tot of rum and toasting King Charles III. "To the King, God bless him," the dozen or so people standing in a semicircle facing Rose say as they knock back the pungent grog -- pleased that, for the first time since Queen Elizabeth II died earlier this month, they all got the words right and toasted her son rather than mistakenly toasting her. It's an easy mistake to make -- after all, they had toasted the queen in this way every single night at 6.00 pm since 1991. They are carrying on a tradition that began in 1655, when the Royal Navy began giving its sailors a daily half pint of rum.
