A waste of good whisky

[KentPhilip]

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!

Maybe it is the half scots blood in my ancestry.

What do other scots and non-scots posters think?

As a true UKIPer you should be proud of this stance.

Those nasty fizzy bottles of Champagne have been coming over here and stealing the limelight in our ship naming ceremonies for too long.

Something had to be done!

Right, I've got bored of talking about UKIP for now. I need a new logo. Need to have a think..

Maybe that one of the homeless bloke with his head in a bin, again?

Haha! I thought exactly the same thing. (I'm English with Scottish ancestry). I watched a video to see if I could tell exactly the make and year of whisky. Did anyone catch what it was a bottle of? If it's an Ardbeg I'll go berserk!
