Well of course. According to Ambrose's The decline of the British Empire and it's Roots in the Widespread use of BPB From the early 20th Century Britain lost it's empire directly because of BPB abuse by first "..British Pols and secondly by the citizenry as a whole..." p. 1,677.

Well yes, BPB and the small matter of stopping first the Kaiser, and then Hitler, from claiming hegemony in Europe. Those two events didn't do the coffers much good either.

But I take Ambroses' point. Disraeli had the chance to ban BPB from our shores but, allegedly being a BPB fiend himself, he decided to not only make it legal, but compulsory for the ruling classes. The consequences were all too predictable......

Maybe not, but I heard Peter Jackson and Steven Speilberg are teaming up to make a movie about Ambroses' Freak Yachting accidents caused by repeated use of BPB.

Warspite1

Oh No! potential disaster has befallen the project. Having thought he had a perfect match with Robbie Coltrane, Steven Spielberg advises me that is not the case: One leg - check, six webbed fingers on left hand - check, 4ft 10 - check, weght 350lbs - check. What is the problem I hear you ask? Well Coltrane comes from Lanarkshire in Scotland, but Ambrose was of course a highlander. There is simply no way that Coltrane, great actor though he is, can carry off the accent of a resident of Inverness. The highly attuned American cinema-going public will simply not buy Coltrane as Ambrose because of this; his Lanarkshire tones will stand out a mile.

Moaned Spielberg "I think the project is off. Getting the accent right is everything - look what happened when Disney got an American to do a cockney accent. Yes, that's right, you end up with Dick van Dyke, playing Bert, the first South African chimney sweep in Edwardian London - Disaster".

Spielberg continues "The speech of the middle classes in Scotland tends to conform to the grammatical norms of the written standard, particularly in situations that are regarded as formal. Highland English is slightly different from the variety spoken in the Lowlands in that it is more phonologically, grammatically, and lexically influenced by a Gaelic substratum".

Spielberg droned on "Scottish English is a rhotic accent, meaning /r/ is pronounced in the syllable coda. As with Received Pronunciation, /r/ may be an alveolar approximant [ɹ], although it is also common that a speaker will use an alveolar tap [ɾ]. Less common is use of the alveolar trill [r] (hereafter, <r> will be used to denote any rhotic consonant)".

I am three quarters of the way through and so far not one solitary mention. I am feeling slightly miffed. The back of the book states:

There was a rumour that this book was actually ghost-written, but the author has not been identified. I can't believe Ambrose would do such a thing, all his books are page turners.

Well I agree except most of this book so far is just a re-hash from his 437 previous books on the subject. I suspect that it was not ghost written but that by the time of his last book, Ambrose was a shell of the man he once was. Remember this was written just thirty-six hours before he set sail in the Saucy Nymphe for the last time....

This was one of his longer-researched efforts. Let me see now, he left his Inverness home at 06:30 in the morning. Flora drove them to the port, so he had three hours to research and write the book on his laptop. He posted it to his publishers at 09:30 that day and it was in print and had become a best-seller just as the Saucy Nymphe was disappearing below the waves a day and a half later.

Hence is apparent failure to include an answer to the original question-salted or unsalted. I wonder if you could create a book about BPB or just PB period from this thread.
