Not tried Scapa, but I like Highland Park which is the other Orkney whisky (who's clicked overwrite?). Been visiting Ardbeg of late.

Not keen on the malt or should that be Malt, heresy I know in the SRGC, but Madeira now that's a nice tipple.

Nice point, Shelagh, I have never heard it debated before. I have always used a small 'm' but I wonder? Maybe a small 'm' in general conversation but a capital 'M' when preceded by 'The'. One advantage of this forum is that there are plenty of school masters to keep us in line ;).

I don't think I am going to let it bother me. Small 'm' or large one. Which reminds me I'm signing off now for a quick shower and then well, maybe a couple of large ones!! ;D

Hi!

Thank you for those kind compliments! (Maggi i loved the birthday card!)
I had learnt and have soo many things to learn here! I am sorry not to participate more, but my knowledge regarding these kinds of plants is very tiny... And i am afraid of doing silly questions!

Mike, silly questions? I hope you are not challenging for my title? Don't worry about it.
There is no such thing as a 'silly' question. It may be a 'simple' question to an expert but if it is of value to you then it is valid and important. Keep asking.

Thanks for all your good wishes - I spent my birthday evening in the Jamieson's Distillery - conference dinner you know - in Dublin and didn't admit that really I do prefer the Scottish stuff. . .
Does talk of Madeira remind anyone else of the Flanders and Swann song or am I alone in this?
Happy birthday to the rest of us Christmas babies.
