    Sandeman's Port

    It's really rather nice, isn't it? Hic!

    Yeah, had some last night with a nice selection of cheeses. Bliss.

      New to port? Lovely, innit?

      Drink plenty of water if you have to get to work in the morning.

        Port

        Not for me... I don't think I'm civilised enough yet.

            It's also delicious with desserts or a bit of dark chocolate. I wouldn't choose Port to be merry on though, too high a price in the morning!

              Quite like a shot in a pint of Guinness otherwise can't stand the stuff.

                Maybe so but every port, especially Taylors, is better than Cockburns.

                Somehow Cockburns tastes synthetic and bland, and you're probably paying a couple of quid extra for the advertising (not sure if they do advertise - I always pre-record and fast forward through the ads these days)

                  Ah! That's a good idea. One of the punters is in London next week and was suggesting a meet. A session down a branch of Davy's on the draft port might be an idea.
                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    They do an excellent trip round the port lodge in Porto too, do Sandemans. I can't stand drinking the stuff though!
