Enjoying a drop of red.
Probably about the same time that Jaspers open.

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
The small paper signs in the window of 'never-to-be-opened-Jaspers' which proclaimed they were re-opening have now gone. I've asked about the opening in the Penkridge store a few times and have never got a straight answer.
Can't see it re-opening myself.

Seems like they've had a relatively small father and son company working on it. The building seems up finally but still a lot to do by the looks.
Well the ground is in a right state. Gonna take a while to level that off as it's in a right mess.
Wish they had. While I'm not a huge fan of Tesco they are at least more competent than Co-op.

And yet all the lights on, shelves fully stocked, tills ready.
It's all very bizzarre.

ALDI application has been called in, to be heard 30th March, ALDI UK had stated 31st opening 'subject to change' so nothing's definite I guess
I made it into then today, no hold ups, no road works, no unmanned (or manned) temporary traffic lights. Lichfield, such a lovely place.

Can you clarify what you mean by "Aldi application called in"?
Also where did you hear this?
This development has been years in the planning. It seems a bit odd to have a hearing a day before a store is due to open and with the shelves all stocked and ready to go.

Thanks for the link...
Wow 55 pages.
Let's put it this way.
There is a lot to sort out and agree to at the meeting on the 30th before the opening the next morning.
That food on the shelves will be out of date already.

I didn't try any others but if you can recommend any I will try them.
I can't actually.
There are two reasons and the first is that mostly when I have enjoyed a bottle of wine I think I will remember what it is.
However, once the bottle has gone in the recycling then I have no memory of the name of it.
On the occasions when I have remembered and gone to get more then I find that it is no longer in stock.
They do tend to change their range quite often.
To be fair though everyone has different tastes and so even if I loved a wine, it may not be to your taste.
I quite like very dry white wines.
It really is a case of going in and trying a few for yourself.
