dear all, i found this when i was reading stuff on-line, and i was quite taken aback by the bad research in number 8

http://timesbusiness.typepad.com/money_weblog/2008...

especially as its from the times smile

i imagine the Scots amongst us will not be happy with the 1st half of number 8.

oh and i know my English is bad, but i don't get paid to write.

Scotch is spelt without the "e", real whiskey has the "e" in it.

depends whether you are of Irish or Scottish linage.

i prefer the one with the e, but i am just a philistine englander and don't understand why distilling i 3 times is no better than 2 smile
