How are they with spandex?

I think they are fine provided it stays outside.

I shall present myself for Alex's inspection at the port walk. I have an outfit so cunningly tailored it leaves my hands and face naked. Very excited now.

Is it a 1970s style snorkle jacket with fur lining around the snorkle?

I did have to kill Kenny for it.

1970s style? I had one of those in the 1980s while attending St. Olaf College in Minnesota! It was a necessity in order to get to class during January and February.

Minnesota has always been a bit behind the curve when it comes to high fashion. I had mine in about 1973

I notice that you failed to say it leaves
only your hands and face naked. DRT's subsequent comment made the image of Rhys Ifans character from Notting Hill spring to my mind - not an image I really wanted to see!

If anyone lives near Basingstoke, there are still 11 tickets for the Hampshire port tasting on 21 November.
Is this the final list for dinner? If so, we'll take two tables of 5. I'll book the tables in September when the holiday season is over.
1) AHB
2) DRT
3) Flash_uk
4) AW77
5) LG Trotter - in smock casual apparel, with jacket and tie
6) D Jewesbury
7) Rachel
8) IDJ123
9) AJH (Alun)
10) Mike's +1 (to be advised in due course)
11) JDAW
12) CMAG
13) CMAG's +1 (to be advised in due course)
Just rereading this now, I realise I didn't update that I gave one of my tickets back, so there is no Mike's + 1 for dinner.
AHB - I recall last night you said 10 for dinner, so maybe that's still the case looking at the list above...?

What time are people arriving?
BBR says “18:30 - 20:30”, so failing a better plan I’ll be outside Berry’s at 18:25.
