I don't like beer so I don't ever buy it. I go for g&t's or wine too. I had a decent glass of sauvignon yesterday for £3.50 in central London - not so bad.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082263093224795131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-51190908881754311912011-08-07T22:27:13.896-05:002011-08-07T22:27:13.896-05:00JCF, thanks.
