South Africa. Green, clean, appealing aroma. Very savoury and not particularly typical, but it is interesting. Worth trying.

Nearly. Really. Nearly Chenin and nearly very good. Often "on offer" and when it is, well worth some of your wine tokens. It is firmly in my regulars file.

After 2 months in the dark, this has changed...or maybe I have. None of the wet rag of other CBs, this is fruity. Pineapple, stewed rhubarb with a hint of nail polish remover. Me likey.

me not sure about your face.

It looks a bit like someone being born. Sorry, that was gross, but horribly accurate, I think.

Might have sold the Alfa. Just been to add a fiver's worth of petrol to the fumes at the bottom of the tank, add pressure to the tyres and wash some of the rubbish off it. Been under a sycamore tree during these gales and was covered in bits. Looks good as new now.

That is a nice nice Alpha

I'm uncomfortable with divulging prices of things. Although, tbf, not wine. £9,250. We fannied about up and down but actually I want to get rid of it before I have to pay another month's stupidly inflated insurance.

It has to go.

Nice car, Pity I didn't see it properly. Was it the 2.5 V6, or above.

You've done the deal ? Made your bargain.

Last year my car insurance (annual) was £89. Comes of being decrepit, tea-total, and an extremely slow and careful driver.

£89 ?!?!!

driving what ????

Thought after about 55 (or is it 60?) or so premiums start going back up a bit again because you start to lose all your senses and regularly pee yourself !

Peeing is essential due to certain stuff being poured in at the other end.
A great plus for the premium is not making 10 trips a week in the rush hour. Also, accidents tend to be scapes and parking dents with the zimmer brigade (unless driving down the wrong side of the motorway).
The car is a 1994 Fiesta 1.1 which has 55,000 (genuine) on the clock. Started life as a hire car on Guensey, then, was returned to supplier after 3 yrs. They sold it on, and that one owner had it for 8 yrs.
I paid £450 incl. 8 mnths tax and have had little problem in 4 yrs.

bargain on all fronts !
450 smackers for a 7yr old fiesta is a bite your arm off trade.

Think my insurance is due to be renewed at about 650 in Jan (that said, is still a bit higher than it should be due to having my first and only big accident 3yrs ago)

I find SwiftCover to be quite cheap. I drive a Skoda Octavia.
