Scottish Wisdom: “8 or 9 is reasonable refreshment, but after that, you’re inta drinkin!

Long ago, business took me to Glasgow, with my late Sweetheart & Boss Lady. We stayed (not making this up) at a Ramada Inn! On the weekend we’d planned a trip to Edinburgh, she had a tummy bug. So leaving her in peace in our room, I went to the hotel bar with it’s chalk board of “Single Malts” from Islay, Syke, et al. Worked my way through the list. And longed for American Bourbon.

My pay back was getting the tummy bug in London, in a B&B near Buckingham Palace – so she didn’t get to see it. A taxi took us to Heathrow under a giant orange moon, at zero dark thirty, where I was saved by an overbooked flight upgrade to Business Class. And, missing her, I am very near “inta drinkin”!
