Throughout this thread British culture is equated to English culture, the two have been used interchangeably. My point is that they are not.

Life / "Whiskification" of Poland? [32]
Here is my tuppenceworth on the Whiskies mentioned in the thread so far. -
Talisker - Best Whisky mentioned in the thread so far.
Glenmorangie - nice 12 year old
Johnny Walker - blue, green, black are quite drinkable - stay away from the red.
Haig - I have a 40 year old bottle of this I keep at my mothers - just in case I get drunk and get tempted to open it.
Black & White/White horse - OK but not my taste.
Bells/Grouse - I only buy these to give out at Hogmany while keeping the good stuff to myself.
VAT 69 - There is a reason this is for the export market.
Jamieson - I quite like it.
Jack Daniels - Overpriced and too sweet.
As I write this I'm drinking Cognac and Coke.

Absolutely.
About 15% of your wage would be average.
If you want to pay more, put the extra in a savings account for her ( under your name ) for when she is older.
Good luck !
