    Default Whisky (he real stuff)

    Fancy a bottle of 1926 Macallan, it's reckoned to be the finest whisky ever produced, a bottle is going onsale at auction later today. A similar bottle let year went for £1.5m, they recon today it will sell for £1.6m.
    Bit out of my price range (lol).

    Hi Vic.
    Wish I had kept a bottle of my five shilling Penfold's plonk, 1949 vintage, would have given it a run for the money.

    Mate, that Penfolds stuff would give you the runs at any time if enough drunk.
    Bit like going to the Tiki Hok bar in Cape Town when you had to resort to 'Penfolds'.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Knew about ginger squares I always called the Brandy and ginger as such. However didn’t know about the upstairs, always thought I got drunk coming out of Delmonicos must have been that way going in. Did the Playhouse in Durban have an upstairs as well ? JS

    All I remember about Durban, is the lot of us getting drunk for two days holding the ship up, getting beaten up by the police in a compound, back on board anchored in the harbour, dropping the gash bucket on the police launch, refusing to sail as there were two blokes in hospital.
