Graphic
Although the classic view may be the way to go, something about what Jdaw1 said appealed to my sense of style. I'll throw this one in as a small picture that would take the place of the @ on the top banner. I think the colours complement, and then I'd leave it alone as a modern,stylish banner for o...

Whisky should always be cut down to 30%.
Whisky should always be cut down to 30%. Cask-strength (60%) straight sterilises the tongue; bottle-strenght (40%) almost does so. Add water to take to 30%, or even 25%.

I stayed at The Rubens in London on the night of the Linden Wilkie Nacional Tasting (rather than The Rubens in Blackpool).
