A wise warning. It was only on my wedding night that I discovered that there wasn't going to be custard any more  Sad

Entirely in your mind, Martle Grin but kind of you to say so.  It is actually true though and a serious shock for me.

I think Richard's 'Were F-Plugs in common use in Moravia at that time?' must run it a close second though  Cheesy

Well that's entirely in YOUR mind, George. I was just trying to straighten out a matter of organology.

George's great aphorism about the custard has the ring of Colette or Scott Fitzgerald opener about it to me. When I'm in office mode I notice panic buying of doughnuts by those on the verge of serious commitment-of both sexes- which seems a contemporaneous echo. I myself am abstaining frrom Bakewell Tart with some difficulty-a Danish variety
has lately appeared brazenly in the post office. I find the only solution is to flutter my f-plug in a Moravian matter
but Iwill draw a veil over the controversy this caused with the Nigerian religious authorities in the adjoining
chambers.

Valve trombones have also been widely used in many times and places and I'd be surprised if Moravia wasn't one of them. That might at least explain the sound which lay behind Janacek's writing even if such instruments weren't actually used in performances of his music... if that makes any sense.

(I have nothing intelligent to say about custard or booze at the moment I'm afraid. Although I am a bit thirsty. Something shall be done.)

I've just read replies 44-48 for the first time and have tears streaming down my face.  Please stop!  I have a mental image of a very glum George at his wedding breakfast with an empty bowl.......

Anyway, it's a Glenkinchie, Ollie.  Eastern Lowlands.  From what I remember gentle and flowery.

In fact, my "Michael Jackson's Malt Whisky Companion 1995"  (It's a thriller) says that the house style is

Flowery start, complex flavours and a dry finish.  A restorative, especially after a walk in the hills.

...well that's useful for a malt from the lowlands, then.  It goes on to give the 10 year old a score of 76, much less than the high 80s and 90s of Balvenie and Cragganmore.  But the Oban 12 gets 76.
