Water of life
Dear Bill,
I noticed in Chris Gilmore's write-up on P7 of the IUCr Newsletter, Vol. 5, No. 2, that one of the events for Glasgow is listed as a "whiskey" tasting. I think most of the Scots would be rather disappointed that is isn't a "whisky" tasting (without the "e"), as that is the product from Scotland. "Whiskey" usually comes from Ireland or America.

Dear Harry,
Let's hope that "A whiskey by any other name tastes as fine!"
Bill
