1,110 mile round trip for wine

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Exactly. It's partly tax and partly greed on the part of the supermarkets I think.

The Bordeaux I got was marked up at €1.79 a bottle but the checkout operative failed to spot some of the cases in the trolley. Which I only noticed after I inspected the receipt in England :^o :D

It was a fab quick trip and one that we'll definitely be doing again and maybe we'll manage to persuade some others to join us on a fun booze trip to France :)

Muz... the pic of you and Hannah sipping the wine is ace! :lol:
We had the horse-burgers last night for tea. Merguez sausages tonight!

That photo was taken on my phone, not by me obviously, can't remember who took it, it's all a bit of a blur, just like the photo :lol:
:lol:
I love cheese!

We would have done, but Mrs Muz always has the Christmas sprouts on the go at Easter, so by December they're nice & tender :twisted:
