Sherry is a terrible drink - most households that 'acquire' a bottle will keep it on average three years before throwing it away or dusting it off to give an elderly aunt a glass at Christmas. It often turns up in raffles over here in the UK. Now port, that is an excellent drink. Although there was the terrible moment two Christmases ago when I woke up and thought my tongue was permanently glued to the roof of my mouth. Never drink a full bottle in a single sitting. Oh, there was also the moment I fell on a coffee table after enjoying a bottle that I bought (on draught, from the barrel) in Barcelona. Happy days.
"If this goes on, my beloved 'earers, it will be my painful duty to
rot this bargee." Stalky drew a long breath through his nose.
