A little help please ?......
It takes a lot of time effort and money to go to as many distilleries, bars, clubs, inns, etc as I do. It takes even more effort, (and money), to drink the amount of Great alcohol I do. It then takes an even greater effort to remember all the nonsense I get up to then tell you about it.
Please help by buying me a whisky !!! This will help keep my bar bill down to an almost manageable level.
Cheers !
Alastair
P.S. A beer whisky about £4 these days - but any amount would be great, cheers !
