We had to have those in our kitchen. Can’t see how they are very green or good for the planet.

I have a bottle of Hardy that been in my cellar for around 25 years. One day I will open it and see if it is still drinkable!

Great vintage, if the wine is still alive.

We used to holiday in Brittany and the range of wines (mostly French admittedly) in the local E Leclerc supermarket was wonderful. Cheap,easy drinkers and excellent value Bordeaux as you point out.

It’s impossible for anyone that likes more than a few artists.

Especially if you have been listening to music for 60 odd years! (Like a few of us😳)

Ask me again tomorrow and probably half or more would be different, except the first three.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

How on earth did #SaintsFC not score in that game?!

Much more positive performance though, just could not get the ball in the net.

I was a Bristol Rovers fan in those days (grew up there). Local derbys against the S Wales teams invariably involved being bricked or bottled by the locals whilst being escorted by the police from the nearest train station.
