.......we started at 12.30 and I bailed out in time to get the the 16.38 Horsham change East Croydscum Preston Park by 17.45.

Lovely meatballs and rice though more Kronenberg the Beaujolais.

Any else disappointed by this years standard ?

Never disappointed, it's always crap and I don't drink it anymore

Usually overrated so seldom disapoints, try Chilean Cab-Savs, you can't go wrong

Dont tell JobCentrePlus you enjoy the odd bottle of beaujolais when you go in for the interview as all your finances will be investigated

No they won't, I claim contribution based JSA you can have ten of thousands in the bank and property or or shares and still claim your £60.15 per week for up to 6 months , I do it, so I get my NI contribution which goes towards my contracted out serps pension .......alright.

My ideal beaujolais day.......

pate to start, peppered steak, cheese and biscuits

washed down with corona's with a little bit of lime in the top.

not a single glass of wine in sight

The problems start when the 6 months are up and after that everything is means tested. If you have too much in savings then you're buggered.

I'd be surprised if the NI credit goes beyond your basic state pension; it isn't even as valuable as an actual payment in assessing your entitlement to benefits in future years.

Do they have a lot of flies in G & D as that is the reason for the lime in the bottle in Mexico to stop the flies getting in the bottle. Whats wrong witha decent pint oh in my day

This habit of drinking Beaujolais Nouveau on the first day has led to this sort of claim. BN is always crap because it's far too young to drink and we always seem to get inferior Beaujolais over here.

But next summer, try a decent, lightly chilled Morgon or Brouilly and then see if it's crap.

The Beaujolais Nouveau race is just for posh blokes with far more money than taste and should be ignored.

in the uk at least this is no longer the case. beaujolais has very much moved down to senior oik levels. you won't find law firms hosting beaujolais evenings for example...

and my own favourite beaujolais, a regnie, is a very fine drink indeed!

The BN race is now out dated because all of the wine disributors have it delivered and available to be served at your premises on the 3rd Thursday in November as oppposed to the 'old days'when it wasnt released until Midnight Wed/Thurs so there was a race to be first across the channel etc.
