Happy Birthday Rich…you are 1 year ahead of us in both age and marriage, but on an equal footing when it comes to… err…refreshment!

Incidentally, we went into Tesco yesterday to get some Glenfiddich and as the checkout operator was removing the wire security cage round the bottle and security tag, I remarked about what lengths we have to go to nowadays to deter the light-handed. “Well”, she remarked, “It doesn’t always work. We had one guy in here this week who had managed to remove the stopper from the bottle whilst still in its cage and decanted the contents into his own bottle!”
(Luckily he was so unsteady on his feet that it was not a difficult arrest)
