Well Bob, perhaps we should check the British Dictionary to see if perhaps
they may have sent us Teachers from the bottom of the class that taught the
Scotts, Irish and Amuricuns the improper spelling of such an International
Treasue.
Does that mean they won't sell us any if we go to Scotland, ( not even a wee
dram ?).
( If you can't spell it you can't drink it )
Cheers,
Tom Wiggins
Gone to the cupboard to check the spelling on all my bottles now.
