A lot of Ex-pat drivers from the UK used the medicine bottle with a cork stopper for their tea on the Rhodesia Railways. Most of the South African, Greek Italian & Rhodesian crew members used a Billy Can, normally with black coffee in it. We did not like cold or stewed tea. We all had canvas water bottles which were hung on the hand rail. The water got quite cold as the air passed over the wet canvas.
