CB So for a 25ml whisky it would cost you 429.96 dollars. If you ever visit Edinburgh the whisky's are on you.   |

Thanks Vlad,I posted your link on my nephews FB page. I asked him if he had been to The Diggers and he said "Not yet! I don’t go to Edinburgh as much as I go to Glasgow. Will check it out next time I’m there though!"

The boozers right name is the athletic arms but it gets called the diggers because the grave diggers from the cemetery across the road used to guzzle in there

CB
My lassies boyfriend was at the opening do at the Edinburgh distillery.
But the spirit is not made in Edinburgh. It is shipped in and the flavours added.
They are also doing gin there as well.
Gin bars are massive over here just now.
As a gin man that suits me fine.

I've never tried one. I usually just drink gin straight. In the hoose I keep it in the freezer and just guzzle it that way. Have you heard of Mr Gimlet before? He is a 'friend' of Finbarr Saunders (and his double entendres) ma. viz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/031_TCT_Finbarr.jpg |

Once upon a time. in a far away land (OK, city centre, 4 miles away), there was a crackin wee howff called His Nibs.
Over 500 whiskies on view as well as other spirits. Back in the day of velvet jackets n bow ties for doormen, I did the door on that bar.
Best night was when the manager asked me to get shot of 8 or 9 bikers that were getting too rowdy.
That pub was a 4 man door job n I was only one that turned up....
They all got up n left after I had a word n was on free drink all night after that. Auchentoshan was taken with great glee

The secret was not to be a twunt. It was almost 40 years ago. Went over to them, explained the situation and suggested a biker friendly pub on the next street along.
It helped I was a poor student just earning a crust.... but I had my hands gripping the table ready to throw it up and on them.
Hope all that passes Igor's strenuous grammar police state.
