Yes I agree with Ito1, I was also put off by the hectoring tone of the instructions to prospective participants. Surely that's the kind of thing that's better covered in a friendly personal introduction to the winetasting rather than the very first thing you read when you're considering signing up for it?


And when, loaded up already with full shopping bags, we bought four bottles of wine to take to a naming ceremony, they said they had no bags but could give me a box (we had no way to carry a box) and my OH and I were forced to carry the bottles in our arms up to Somerfield, where we sneaked some extra plastic bags to put the bottles in.


Of course unnecessary use of plastic bags is bad, but why couldn't they just charge for bags where people really do need one or more, and give the money to charity, as SMBS do?


But yes, there's many good things about G&B including, luckily, their wines :)

    • A friend has asked me to recommend Juliene for regular cleaning as she has some slots available. Her phone number is 07751426567
    • I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?
    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
