UK Election 2015 (part III)

Sparkling wine made by the méthode champenoise was an English invention. Merrett invented and manufactured the strong glass bottles that wouldn't blow up when a deliberate second fermentation was started in the bottle.

We have some excellent méthode champenoise wines made in this country. Try some of the supermarket champagnes many of them are rather poor.

Cheers,

Will the government bring forward the EU referendum? There's talk of it happening in 2016 as opposed to 2017 - http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/11/david-cameron-european-union-referendum

My initial thoughts is this would be better. A long delay before such a referendum could stifle big companies from making investment decisions and possibly slow the economy. If Cameron is going to try and negotiate anything, better to go into such things with a credible threat following sooner rather than later.

The problem with that is that they may have inadequate time to get their relocation strategies in place.
 
"Camel Valley... for when a toe is not enough..."

...the point about Champagne is not the excellence and taste, this is not the point of Champers but the vulgarity of the bottle and price paid. English people and PFM always get this bit wrong... Good as your idea of a trumped up posh Babysham might taste, no one drinks fizzy wine wine for fun except to get someone tipsy enough to slip them a drug to give them their swiss bank details and location of the secret lair... For starters, "English Champagne" is too cheap, there is no sense of "I have pissed away Northumberland's healthcare budget on a Grand Cru Karl Largerfield edition and a beluga caviar simply in order to hurt the poor and perhaps stamp on their faces a bit".

You guys will be defending Aldi next.

So it's a bit like wires then ........................ :confused:

Oh, and in case you are tempted https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/product-r.../p/veuve-monsigny-champagne-brut-by-philizot/
 
£9.97? How do the elite stamp their authority on the English voting public with that? The SNP certainly are not, they are impressed with a 5L x 6 pack of IrnBru and a Bucket of chips. This country is turning into the "stylish ways to abuse poor people" equivalent of North Korea.
 
Daily Mail says our Champagne Veuve Monsigny has a “Golden hue, small bubbles in a perfect upward spiral, and a nice crisp flavour.”

Daily Mail
5th October 2013

Olly Smith says “stock up early for the festive season - with its upbeat intensity and truffly scent, this Champagne is so keenly priced it'll sell out fast. Seize it”

Our Wine Correspondent adds,
Remember to open your mouth before pouring in.
 
Champagne is revolting - if you must destroy your liver and brain, at least do it with something that tastes good.

Very unlikely.
The enabling legislation is likely to rejected by the Lords, holding things up.
 
Labour voters = football supporters (lose, lets trash the place, win, lets trash the place)

Tory voters = rugby supporters (win or lose, game's over lets all go to the pub and have a laugh)

Libdem = no sport at all (team sports, winning, losing and competition are unnecessary)
