A waste of good whisky

[greenlake]

The Queen is launching a new aircraft carrier in Scotland today, by smashing a bottle of whisky on the side of the ship rather than the customary champagne.

This rankles with me. While I am happy to see the loss of a bottle of bubbly in the name of celebration, somehow the waste of a good bottle of scotch seems wrong. How could she!

Here's the Queen's response to your concern....

Those little jumps on the end of the decks look really naff.

But more importantly will they have a decent pasta chef so the pilots don't have to fly out to get a decent spag boll?
