That was a nice touch

Picked up the Passat from Newport VW earlier.

As part of the service, there were 3 minor recalls to carry out.

On collection, the service manager gave me a bottle of champagne as a
'goodwill gesture' due to the inconvenience caused by the recalls.
(Wasn't inconvenient, 'cos it was done as part of my service..... so a
big 'well done' to Newport VW for handing over the bottle of booze
anyway)

Lanson Black Label. Proper cheap stuff.

Post corrected.

They may as well have given you a bottle of Asda Charlemagne...

Since when were Scousers experts on the stuff. I thought the closest you
lot got to champagne was Lambrini..... although Black Label would be
more appropriate for that neck of the woods.

Anyway, it's about 25 quid a bottle in Tescos, so I'm more than happy
with that.

Lambrini, sponsors of the Welsh women's hockey team. Wouldn't they have a
good idea of their market?

Lambrini is actually knocked together somewhere in Kirkby, doesn't mean I
drink it.

Besides, a Manc living in a South Welsh sink estate really shouldn't be
judging Scousers.

Naturally, it's below average quality stuff with an above average price tag.
Has it got a soft touch bottle?

Well, at least I can console myself that I don't live in a pikey
shitehole like Liverpool.

It's the carbuncle on the arse of humanity up there.
