Well I got back a little early, and thought that I would go sample and purchase some fine french wines for Christmas. Being a long standing fan of the vintner Laithwaite I proceed to their Virginia Water shop.
The cleaner is hoovering and that staff chatting, I proceed to look at the various confusing bottles of booze. Pleased that someone asks if I need help 'YES' I want to buy 12 bottles and some champagne, I don't think I can give any clearer buying signals than this. HEY HO she know nothing about wine and points me to the french section, fleetingly a member of staff points out the chablis a light one and a bold one. I potter and fill a box based on the design on the bottle labels, but when it come to pay I cannot believe someone who walks in the door wanting a crate of beer is served first.
Waitrose to the Rescue!!!!
I desert my self-selected box of wine, and a short journey to Waitrose, has me smiling a 2005 Chablis is on special at just £6.00, the Lanson in a lovely presentation pack is only £20 so Laithwaites you need to look at your positioning and service.
The Husband is Infuriating
The boys night out this Friday is officiallly cancelled due to sickness, but asaid husband is pitching this as he did not want to go scenario. Complete balderdash, also the fact I insisted on the same funding a he planned for his night of razzzle and rampant activity in folding money slowed the project down MEN.I live with a batchelor who just happens to be married with five children, but this doesn't stop his playboy gene. Particularly active in December! Boxing, leaving does, parties seedy clubs ....
