Now I understandwhy the missus used to get so wound up about people trying to put ice in her scotch.

It's the fault of cheapo pub ownersnot contect with charging a 400% mark up on supermarket prices (which aren't exactly cost) they have to employ minimum wage twelve year olds that have a clue about exactly feck all except 'LOL!' and 'ROFL!' and 'What-EV-ARR!'

^ThisI was too stunned to do anything except give an evil stare and say 'no'.
What I almost said was, "No, I asked for a pint."

LOLI think you're right there... I saw a documentary on D'Aggio who own pretty much all popular alcohol (Smirnoff, Guinness, Magners erm... and others) and apparently the whole ice in magners thing comes from them, in an effort to make cider cool and drinkable for girls and kids. Guinness Extra Cold works on a similar premise, they seem to think that people didn't drink guinness or magners previously, because they had "old man stigma". Yuck.
