Thousands of litres of whisky disappeared down the drain after a terrible mix-up at the bottling plant of Chivas Brothers in Dumbarton yesterday

It is understood the blunder happened during the night shift on Tuesday while equipment was being cleaned.

Instead of draining away waste water, the workers on duty somehow flushed out thousands of litres of bulk whisky :-( :-( :-(

Not affecting fish in rivers apparently.

Well, I 'm down to Morrisons today to bulk buy salmon for freezer ;-)

or so the men on night shift said
look out for bargains at the local car boot

terryj - you have been watching Whisky Galore :-D :-D :-D

DOWN THE DRAIN
(The twelve bottles of whisky)

I had twelve bottles of whisky in my cellar and my wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink or else!

So, I said I would... and proceeded with the unpleasant task.

I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I extracted the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I pulled the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink, with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I then withdrew the cork from the fourth sink and poured the bottle down the glass... which I drank.

I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass.

I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine.

To make sure I counted them again... they came to seventy-four.

And as the house came by, I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses and bottles and corks and sinks and glasses counted, except one house and one cork... which l drank.

I'm not under tha affluence of incohol as some tinkle peep I am. I'm not half as thunk as you might drink. I fool so feelish I don't know who is me, and the drunker I stand here, the longer I get.

:-D :-D :-D @ Dermot

Thought you had been quiet for a few days ;-)

Gave the cats a couple of sachets of Tesco whitefish in jelly this morning. Two of them are swinging from the chandelier singing "How much is that doggy in the window?" :-S

Och, that's a terrrrrrrrrrrrible waste.

I'm fond of a nippy sweetie

:-D

Wee Deoch an Doris

There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o'time,
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime.
When brother Scots are gathered, it's aye the usual thing,
Just before we say good night, we fill our cups and sing...

Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.

Now I like a man that is a man; a man that's straight and fair.
The kind of man that will and can, in all things do his share.
Och, I like a man a jolly man, the kind of man, you know,
The chap that slaps your back and says, "Jock, just before ye go...

Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.

RolloTheRed, it was a great film with great acting, and having worked in the Western Islands of Scotland it was, and still is, a great favourite of mine, as is Whisky ;-)

Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place,
But the price of the whiskey is grim.
How nice it would be if the whiskey was free
And the Loch was filled up to the brim.

Oh Campbellton Loch
I wish you were whiskey
Campbellton Loch Och Aye
Oh Campbellton Loch
I wish you were whiskey
I would drink you dry

I'd buy a yacht with the money I've got
And I'd anchor it out in the bay.
If I wanted a sip I'd go in for a dip
I'd be swimmin' by night and by day :-D :-D :-D

Stuart McDonald was fairly well known throughout Scotland although he was not as popular as Andy Stewart, I met Andy at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh the day before he died.

A great man who did great works for charity and a man who had a deep rooted love of Scotland and it's heritage :-)
