Not with our level of taxation at the moment it isn't

Wars have been started over taxes..

However.. I meant:

CAli forn I-A.

NOT

CA nuh.. duh?




Oh look. Concorde

I drank an eighty year old whiskey once and am still here. I understand there is still the odd bottle of whiskey from the SS. Politician knocking around the Uists and still being drunk with no ill effect. However I would keep it or sell it.

Did some more searches on whiskey and although it won't do you any harm in drinking it, it won't taste as good as when it was first bottled as whiskey does not improve with age.

Nigel.

If that is the case why do all the whisky snobs prattle on about how long it's been aged, with 12 years seeming to be the most popular figure.

It makes no difference to me as I never touch the stuff, every taste of whisky I've ever had just reminds me of muddy bog water especially the awful, lingering, after-taste.

Best get it drunk then.

It is the time in the cask that adds to the taste, not time in the bottle. I drink scotch and dislike the highland brands as I can taste it the day after. The lowland types don't seem to have the lingering taste.

I got a message from whisky exchange saying basically they don't handle that, go to whisky.auction, so I browsed the site in the finished auctions and closest I could find was 5 quid for a pair of CC mini's from 1977, but no airline logo's. Nigel your probably right it won't taste as good as when it was bottled so I think I will just keep it as a memento of my dad's travels and leave it sealed. I may poke around trying to find a place that deals in it, but my few hours of browsing has not come up with anything. I might try an eBay listing with a high minimum, but probably not.

Joe, I vote to keep it as it's sentimental value to you maybe far more valuable than what it may fetch on eBay especially as time passes.

Hi Joe, if it has sentimental values insomuch as remembering your father then keep it. When my parents passed away, my father when I was 34 and my mother about 3 years ago, I took hold of an old camera my father had (a Rolleiflex) that he had owned since the fifties. I found that it no longer worked as needed quite an amount of work to get it operating again so out of impulse I sold it at action knowing that whoever bought it would restore it to pristine condition. For the amount that I got for it was disappointing although I never expected much for it anyway as you can buy them quite cheaply but it was for me sentimental as that was the only thing I got that belonged to him and now I do in many ways regret having sold it as I don't have anything to remember him by apart from memories.

Keep it Joe, at least every time you look at it you will remember the happy times you had with your father.

Regards
Nigel.
