    When I was a wee lad all the plonk destined for Threshers was delivered to my old mans office licence in Fulham, trust my drinking wine at 4am in the morning especially that rubbish is not very nice.

    Went to France for the Beaujolais run for my birthday many years ago and failed terribly. The clutch went on the van and we had to spend 8 hours waiting for the clutch to be replaced so gave up on hitting the region and drove back to Calais. Got some from duty free and TBH would have been better off going to Tesco and buying a jar of vinegar.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I went last year, and the best stuff doesn't make it out of the region, some years are better than others tho...
