Is the plot of land all peat?

It had better be! I've never actually been there but I definitely have to. Besides, I wouldn't like anybody just camping there without me knowing .

I'm a fan of their product when I can afford it.

I think you may claim a piece of land yourself, though I'm not quite sure. Check the website if you're interested!

Must be off now but I will, thanks. Do you get any perks?

They say I'll always be welcome to visit my plot of land and for a dram, and that they have boots and clothing awaiting me there.

Well, that's far enough from one free bottle a year ...

Ah, peat... My brother told me the following story once. He went to visit a distillery, and in the end they showed a documentary about whisky. It started with pictures of a rain-battered land. After some time the speaker went: "Rain. Water.", and about how important it was for whisky. Then he went on: "But what would whisky be like if it wasn't for peat?" At that moment you saw a guy shoving peat, but as my bro' didn't know what "peat" was he understood "Pete", and he said to himself "So this lad there is called Pete; what's so important about him? Is this a kinduva legend about a Pete fellow who's supposed to bring the special touch to great whiskies or what?"

So a few years later I went and saw the same documentary, but I knew who this fellow Pete was .

Great story!

I hope you're not using your name and tag as a pickup line? I fear for it's success!

Could you be more specific please?

No need for that; I see the not-quite-poetic side of it now . I'll try and use it as a pickup line in French .

And as for "Toy Box", I expect there's nothing wrong wit it ?

C'est bon (bonne?).

C'est bon.
