I think it was around £25 which is way overpriced, considering that they sell Jim Beam for £18.

The Irish navvies built the railways, and canals before them, in this country,. Many of the tunnels and cuttings were hand dug especially in the early days.

Chinese restaurants in Bangkok would go out of business pretty quick if they served that crap.

Yea 6£ is a pretty stiff import duty. But percentage wise about the same difference here over Jack Daniels or Jim Beam of which I much prefer Maker’s Mark too and am willing to pay a premium.
We have the same issue here with imported liquor being over priced. I can buy two bottles of Maker’s Mark for what one bottle of a decent single malt Scotch cost. A good Anejo Tequila will cost around $50 or more.

Yea that’s the funny thing about Thai restaurants here in the US. Most Mexican and Chinese restaurants sell Americanized menus but the Thai and Vietnamese restaurants are authentic, except they may turn down the heat a little.
I hear that good Tex-Mex food is very hard to find in Europe? Is that true?

I know. One of my ancestors worked on the Miami-Erie canal and help dig the Lake St. Mary’s reservoir feeder (it was the worlds largest man made reservoirs at the time.). Legend has it Irish worker were paid $1 a day and a bottle of whisky.

Good Tex-Mex, isn't that an oxymoron? Taco Bell is starting to spring up, indeed there is one down the road from me, for what it's worth.

Tax is steep on spirits, it's the nanny state.

No...it most certainly is not. In fact it's outstanding. Try some carne asada or frijoles charro or a torta or home made tamales. Damned good eats. My favorite is beef enchiladas in red Guajillo chili sauce.
Please don't confuse Taco Death as even being remotely related to Tex-Mex/Southwestern cuisine or authentic Mexican food. Only White Castle and Chik Fil A beat Taco Death as worst fast food ever.

Exactly, there is no point to anything in american society, it's just noise and chaos while the economic extraction, concentration and redistribution continues unabated.

I thought I was on Tom's ignore list.
He promised me that I would be.
He just can't control himself.
Poor Tom.
Poor Tom.
The title of the thread refers to "racist" history. Which specific race were you referring to? All I saw in the video was stuff about Chinese people, but nothing about a specific race.

Surely it is self explanatory, unless you're a moron?

Just went to another supermarket and they had Jim Beam at 16 pounds, Jack Daniels at 21 pounds and Maker's Mark at 25 pounds. Work that one out!!
There must be a race involved for there to be racism.

I can't. I think Maker's is better than both of those...considerably better than Jack which I never drink straight....but it's not that much better.
