As an aside, we popped into CBC brewery next door to fill our growler, and to admire the view with an uplifting IPA. Our conversation turned to whisky and the upcoming rugby. Grandad said he was bringing an excellent whisky, Paddy's and we would have a "nip' with every try the Springboks scored. A large black gentleman sitting at a nearby table said that although he agreed with the choice of whiskey, it was not to be sampled with a "nip". as we left, he waved good bye and in a loud voice reminded us to "not use the N word!!" of course some of the tourists around were confused :)
