Anyway, had to take advantage of the 25% off 6 and was astonished to see a wine on the top shelf of French whites, in a hock bottle with one of those short, cheap-looking screwcaps, and a fairly obviously photocopied Louise Jadot Pouilly Fuisse label glued onto it.
Took it to a member of staff, who looked it up and confirmed that they don't stock LJ PF in Stroud (no surprise there). Have left it with him.
Why? What possible fun can anyone have with this. Ideas, anyone.

Hi Mel,
We did touch on this one here, when you were laid low and totally out of it mid Summer.
I think GK stuck it up, after an indifferent claret from big T that he paid £2.99 for !
You Plonkers
Anyway, the new story is that Mel Jones, Master of Wine and very obliging parent, spots a fraud on the shelves in Straud.
Enjoy your week-end.
Ok - here is the scenario, the guys in the warehouse swapped it over with homebrew Hock (does anyone remember that stuff, the concentrate came in a litre tin, which one added to cool boiled water and some yeast) and fooled the warehouse supervisor and those numb sculls at Group 4a, allegedly. A load of work though
