Visited today by Susan and Stephen MacGuinness, from Westchester, USA, which was very good as RGB, Sir Chris and myself have all been there at some stage. They had a good blether to RGB and heard stories of our adventures in Jake's Bar.
They are planning on heading there when they get home to give an update on our activities in the Mercat Bar.
Discovered that there had been an big conference related to the tobacco industry at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, and had a visit from the quality control Director of Philip Morris tobacco, who thoroughly enjoyed his taste of Steve Stewart's 80 Shilling beer.
Just a pity he was heading back to Switzerland in the morning so he missed other sampling. He made an interesting comment about the smell of hops from the breweries in Edinburgh. having a finely tuned nose to test the tobacco he is also aware of the smells in the atmosphere and his surroundings. Oddly we must take the smells as a norm in our daily life, aprt from the days when it is exceptionally strong and noticeable.
