Charlie she musnt have gotten round to reading Mocktays post about the Tory and Suntory Whiskey. I often wonder in such a case they don't consume the bottle first and fill it up with cold tea. I would. What a waste. Cheers JS

Bet ol Lizzy was not too bothered about smashing a bottle of whisky on HMS Queen Elizabeth, now if it had been a bottle of Gordons {apparently her favourite tipple} then she may have been a bit miffed at the waste.

Gordons, just like me. I always knew the lady had class must have got it from her Gin drinking mother.
