Reply to: Scottish Independence - at last a real alternative

[woohoo]

The Scottish parliament recently gave something like 1.8 million to a distillery to turn it into one of the best in Scotland. The owner then went and gave over 600,000 (but not from the grant) to the no to independence lot :-)

Is this an urban myth or is there evidence to back it up?

Flocking outrageous. Hand built in England it's says. Peal it off and underneath it reads 'Made in China'

Fraudsters.

plenty of premium cars use parts from around the world. Its the skill in selecting, specifying & assembling the parts you are paying for not where the metal was cast.

Quantity is not quality.

Is that what you tell your missus?

[vetran]

indeed so Germany famous for pioneering cars comes below Italy in supercars.

Scotland famous for whisky is now losing out to Japan etc on Whisky.

yes but apparently a Ferrari is nicer than a Mercedes yet Karl Benz pretty much invented the modern car.

It's a bit like wanting an Aston Marin, but buying a Jag. An Indian Jag. That's just not British.

Aston Martin apparently not quite 100% British

Aston Martin is recalling most of its sports cars built since late 2007 after discovering a problem with a part supplied by a Chinese subcontractor

yep soon Scottish whisky will be like French wine undercut mainly by superior alternatives made in other countries.

Years of skill can be hired and ingredients grown anywhere.

Ah, but do those ingredients include the peaty waters from highland streams?
