Season\'s Greetings:Scotland\'s OTHER national drink
#1
It occurs to me that RAT members unlucky enough not to live in Scotland may never have seen this excellent Christmas advert (for our other national drink): http://youtu.be/xfiqrkV_ZqI. Enjoy!

Interesting comparison :wink: ...and a brilliant advert.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

SALVETE OMNES!

Unlucky enough, you say.......How many degrees below zero are there right now?

By the way, I think I've seen Eileann Donan Castle in the advertising, went there last summer, no doubt it is a a lovely place. Then I understood why the roman legions never completed their conquest of Caledonia.

Health to all RAT members and enjoy these days.
