Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Can you skip the cream stuff and give me the basic?

Blimey, Christmas starts earlier and earlier.

Maybe I should chip off the yellow crust that's built up around the stopper of the bottle of Warninks Advocaat we bought in 1978 and see if it's still as foul as I remember.

Spoiler:- Even worse, it goes off. I had a bottle, in case mum wanted a snowball when she came over at Christmas. Unopened and about five years old, it had solidified and changed colour, to grey.

Asda and Tesco had the 1litre bottle of Bailey's for £12 (normally £20) a couple of weeks ago, but neglected to buy in sufficient stock to last more than a couple of days. I did manage to snaffle a bottle, which I have hidden, otherwise it might not last even the weekend, never mind Christmas.

Ditto the above.

There are also two limited editions, Tiramisu, currently listed only by Tesco, and Eton Mess (not sure I like the sound of that) at Waitrose

Tiramisu?
What's that?
Some woman is going to want me to do it to her!
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Lots of branded spirits at supermarket only label prices in Tesco. In Wales the minimum pricing for a litre of spirits is £18.75 and Gordons/Smirnoff that normally cost about £21 are £18.75.

Pre-minimum pricing a litre of Aldi's own brand gin was £14.85 <sniff>

Aldi's own gin is lovely, still cheap too.
