No. jdaw1 started drinking port because maths lectures at Cambridge weren't challenging enough unless you had a hangover.

The shopping story is as of 2010, not as of my undergraduate days.

Nor is DRT’s claim accurate.

Cambridge used to be famous for its watering holes, but its rather gone down hill of late in that regard..

..my enthusiasm for its shops can be evidenced by the fact that I've not shopped there once so far this year, despite it being on my doorstep..
