The King and Queen have arrived in Washington DC

The President didn't meet them at the plane. Is that a snub?

So far it's been very respectful, perfectly fine (this coming from a very pro-monarchist)

Thread 'Scotch in The US'

Apr 11, 2026

Just looked up the price of a bottle of talisker 10 in the USA.
Costs $90
In the UK it's $40 (converted from pounds)

Damn that's pricey, no wonder you're all mad on bourbon it's way cheaper.
How much would you guys expect to pay for a pint of draught beer in the pub over there?

Hopefully means you lot should be able to get good scotch a lot cheaper than it is currently over there
