For happy non-couple Hugh Grant and Tinglan Hong, a brief encounter begat a baby daughter (Hu-Hong?). Mummy might also wish to toast her additional good fortune - the swanky Fulham house Grant reportedly moved her into. While the cocktail might also resonate with Boris Broom-Cupboard-Becker, all the anguished heroine (played by Celia Johnson) of 1945 weepie Brief Encounter got to drink was a lousy cuppa at Milford Junction's buffet.
