Ok I am not about to start rumours or panic but am just passing on something I heard from a very reliable source. A neighbour's daughter in law works as a manger for a large well known supermarket and has been told that all sales of alcohol will be banned from 28th December. I cannot confirm the truth of this but I respect the source. I thought I would pass on this info as 'every little helps'π€« 1. Hearsay = very reliable? I think not. 2. Manger - surely a Xmas connection, not post-Xmas. Unless it is "dog in a manger" type of reference. 3. Banned from 28 December? Presumably permanently in the absence of any other information. Perhaps Sadiq Khan has been quietly elected president of the Republic of Little Britain and the royals will be deposed following a respectable 3 days after the Queen's Xmas message. Sharia Law takes over and bacon is also banned.

I did say it was something I was told, its not like I have a personal link to COBRA! If it doesn't happen no worries, if it does then its heads up. We always have at least three months supply of alcohol on the boat and at home, doesn't everyone π€ͺπ

Well we had an MI6 meeting in the South Oxon HQ yesterday as it happens.
There will not be an alcohol ban.

Not being bothered much about the silly season I was largely ignoring it, but today succumbed to some treats. One of which is this:
Not the cheapest, but it is nice.
