Ugh. What the **** is this dross? First bottle down the sink for ages.
Indescribable. However, very consistent with the other Morrisons offerings that I've tried.
Bought 12 with 25% off. All have been well below par, and several pretty ropey indeed. Shan't go there again.

Huge tear up between gypsies and locals last night in Porthcawl.

I never go to Morrison's. It's in Port Talbot. Even gypsies don't go there.

Be nice to your sink.

G,
We see the Gypsie baptisms in the local Roman Catholic church once a year, they take over the whole of the vicinity when that happens, The Priest arranges a special midweek service. A silver S class as long as a transit van appears when the chief arrives, after which, a huge convoy of long bodied vans, pick'ups and exec cars pour into the neighbourhood. Extraordinary.

You don't mess with them. and they leave, just as the melting snow dissapears by midday at Easter.

The hard road is hot for the travellers just now, melting tarmac, nowhere to hide from the sun. Hot heads, very heavy indeed. Did they or the locals rear-up after dusk ? The locals must'ave been looking for trouble, fed-up with their arrival, or as usual - Far too much Booze ?

Morrissons need to employ an MW or similar for their buying process. Stick the right label on the bottle and it sells ! This stance may not work in the future ?

Sorry about the PF Mr B, you were celebrating Le Tour, a decent Pouilly Fume would have been absolutely perfect. I dont have SKY, so I'd download on ITV4 to keep up. The race around the Arc was like formula 1 - infact, just as exciting, and more so at the finish. Saw it on HD Telly at 11 last night.

With the continuing carve-up of sport broadcasting, I'm seriously thinking of a large HD screen and a high quality video / graphics board for my office computer !

Down the sink?

Madness. Receipt, return, refund. Easy.

If you dropped a tenner in the street would you walk away and leave it? Of course not.

Its been some time since I last reviewed the Quaffers Commandments but Im almost positive that wasting money on wine was not on the list.

B, see me after school.

Locals got drunk at a fate. Ganged up and went to the gypsy camp. The Gypsies were forewarned and forearmed. The local lads got a hammering. Police helicopters went out helping the ambulances round up stray victims.

Thanks for replying G.

Reminds me of an old saying - Fools rush in where angels fear to tread .

On a lighter note, and in agreement. I rushed into a Sainsbury offer last year :oops: . I have at least 6 bottles of JE11, some in the cooler, that are not drinking that well at the mo (nothing very wrong per se', and possibly worth £6 per bottle or so ). Your prediction with this '11 vintage MSB is.......unfortunately, rather accurate.

I shall use it to good effect for fish starters...But that is not the point !
