[edit] Whisky olympics
I restored the section which was removed as "offensive", and added a reference. Offensive or not, it is a fact that the press popularly refers to the whisky olympics. It is a fact that bars are opened late, indeed at the Oban Mod there was a controversy because the extension was only a few hours; unfortunately the Oban Times does not have online archives.
If some find this offensive, it would be appropriate to say that too, but I can't find a reference. Facts should not be suppressed because some find them offensive; that would be a very dangerous trend, because there is someone ready to line up to be offended by about anything.
The reference to a real whisky event may seem irrelevant, but I think it may be important to establish that sometimes people mean something else. Better would be an article on the actual whisky olympics, but I haven't been able to complete that research. Notinasnaid 10:05, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
