Ok just to be a bit pedantic here...if it's made in Scotland 'whisky', if it's Irish it's 'whiskey'. Scottish made is always best, it's blissful. I was brought up on it as my father is Scottish, ( Scottish is from Scotland, Scotch is the drink, never call a person Scotch).
Welsh whisky is nice as is Cornish whiskey. Huge arguments about Manx whiskey/whisky even the spelling ending up in court), it may or may not be whiskey/whisky.
and yes there is an English whisky. The Distillery - Whisky In Norfolk - English Whisky

That isn't what it says. It says the Gypsies know the language and culture of the people that went around conquering everything, at that time. They are gone, the Gypsies remain.

A Scottsman doesn't give a damn what you call him, as long as you hand him a scotch.

The dance that came from the gypsies ( not Irish Travellers) was Flamenco. Clog dancing came from wearing clogs and dancing.

'Iraq' is a modern country.

So where does the stereotype of clog dancing in Holland come from?

Afraid so, he'd call that a tourist whisky lol. Try Glen Gariosh 1978, Ladyburn 1974, Alt a Bhainne 1980, Benraich 1969, or Chynelish 1983.

Klompendansen is quite simple, folk dancing done by people wearing what everyone wore in the past, wooden clogs, hard wearing, relatively cheap and long lasting. The people in the north of England also wore clogs for exactly the same reason.

There is a fighting style from Lancashire called 'purring' that involves wearing clogs. This has evolved into shin kicking of which we still have a few competitions, not clogs though.
