Met up with my friend in the Plough last Thursday evening and was surprised to be charged ?10.20 for two medium rose wine spritzers (quarter wine, three quarters soda water). Goodness knows what two glasses of wine would have cost but I was driving so stuck to a coffee afterwards.

Yep, Jaipur was the ?2.40 vs ?4 one. Sierra Nevada is ?1.75 in the supermarkets and over ?3 in HBB (I guess that's another one customers ask for).


Didn't intend this to turn into a dig at your shop because I do like it, and have used it. Was just a bit shocked at the difference in price compared to supermarkets. Will continue to pop in now and again for one or two bottles, but get my regular tipples elsewhere. A reasonable compromise, I think.

    • It's worth paying for someone who is properly qualified in my opinion. We did when we bought, but unfortunately the people selling to us had used some sort of mass conveyancing centre in Wales to save a few quid and they were rubbish. When I looked into selling our place I asked the estate agent who came to value it whether we could stipulate that a future buyer should use a proper conveyancer. They reckoned yes, so something you might consider asking for from your buyer if not too late. I guess it depends on demand, if there's a queue of buyers you're in a different place to make demands versus someone's been trying to sell their place for a year. I've used Wendy Burgess several times, it seems she's recently moved to a different practice: https://www.hcnlaw.co.uk/attorney/wendy-burgess/
    • Following on from Sue's post, this document looks useful as a single information source about the continuation of the Poundland brand:   https://www.pepcogroup.eu/media-news/pepco-group-completes-sale-of-poundland/.  From it I get that Pepco, the pre-sale parent company of Poundland, will have a minority share in the business (the CH record for the acquiring company seems to me consistent with that) and that "Under this new ownership, the business will be led by Barry Williams, currently Managing Director of Poundland. The business will continue to operate under the Poundland brand in the United Kingdom (and under the Dealz brand in the Isle of Man and Republic of Ireland)."
    • That was my question about Ed Davey and has he lost the plot? Are you a Lib Dem supporter? What do you think about his speech?
