Euro mini tour

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

If returning to the UK you can also claim back the tax. So a £3.99 bottle ends up around £3.39


Day trip on P&O is currently £35 - though not sure I would trust P&O !!!

Well actually it was only 600 bottles on the back of my pickup close to an allowed ton in weight , at the ferry port in cherbourg (to Ireland) the french customs asked me to show the goods i have loaded , and i said mainly tools .... :D they let me get away with it .... after they found no tools beside a shovle .... and a trailer attached with the tools ..... and 2 oak wine barrels that they asked me to open (no idea how) that i got for 25 Euro each in that Vineyard (hard to understand that those are made for only 1 time winemaking ) standing upright on that Ifor Williams trailer next to the cement mixer on it ....

.... as strict as they appeared in Person , they acapted my answer , that between of each of us 3 from West -Cork Ireland its just for self- consumption :lol: , dont ask me how much i sweet , going through the Irish customs the next morning ... , but their dog in Rosslare harbor, did not smell any traces of drugs :mrgreen:
