Rad trad on brill hills. Posh nosh, sloshed on damn good drams. With a flagrant disregard for the structure of the Haiku: I blog on food, booze and climbing.

@paulbattye @davidareader @markdavisIFA @BMWUK_ @Mazda_UK @SsangYongGB @forduk @KiaUK @Hyundai_UK @UKVolkswagen What size car are you after?

[Adam @Himselfbyname]

@paulbattye @davidareader @markdavisIFA @BMWUK_ @Mazda_UK @SsangYongGB @forduk @KiaUK @Hyundai_UK @UKVolkswagen [PRO] - Much better value than winter tyres for the UK when it only snows for a couple of days.
[PRO] - Much better in extreme conditions than winter tyres (steep snow and ice)
[CON] - limited to 30mph
[CON] - need to take off once back on tarmac (or will wear out quickly).

@davidareader @paulbattye @markdavisIFA @BMWUK_ @Mazda_UK @SsangYongGB @forduk @KiaUK @Hyundai_UK @UKVolkswagen Octavia has plenty of room in the boot, I've got the FWD diesel which copes with everything but snow and ice. For that, I just put snow socks on the drive wheels.

So those of you taking part in next Thursday's zoom tasting, we'll be tasting the following forgotten drams. Buy one, two or all five as samples so you can drink along in @MCRWhiskyClub 's #virtualwhiskyclub:

[Benjamin Alvarez @BenjAlvarez1]

This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system.

This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurve

So starting tonight's #VirtualWhiskyClub with a mystery dram. Tastes 43-48%abv, looks like first full sherry cask (colour looks too orange for it to be caramel colouring). Its unpeated, and tastes like a 12-20yo malt. Other than that... not a scoop y.
