This has turned into rather a large order for 20 6-packs of the regular olive oil and 2 6-packs of the fancy-schmancy oil.

I can have them delivered to my house, but people will have to arrange to collect them from me or be willing to allow me to bring them into London for tastings a few bottles at a time.

I'm happy for either, but I'm close enough that picking them up makes more sense than you carting mine into town.

Oops. I missed that. Yes please to a six pack of the fancy stuff if possible, plus two six packs of the standard.

Good news. The olive oil arrived this morning.

Slightly less good news, I have now been invoiced for the oil. Please could those of you requesting bottles:
(a) transfer the money to my account at the rate of £10 per bottle of ordinary and £20 per bottle of Centenario and let me know you have done so;
(b) let me know if you would like to collect your oil from my house or whether you are happy for me to bring it in to London a few bottles at a time to be handed over at TPF tastings; or
(c) if you have kindly volunteered to help at the BFT whether you would like to collect your oil that day

Many thanks!

Phil, Wolfgang,

I can bring some or all of your olive oil with me when I see you next, but then you will have to carry it home with you. Let me know if you want all, some or none of the bottles you've ordered when we get together.
