Sorry guys, it seems like the answer might be nowhere. I bought an obscene number from Approved Food earlier this year, but they only get stock that's going out of date/nobody else can sell.

I think asda trialled them for a while but they mustn't have been very popular as they're no longer available. Even amazon doesn't have them.


It's probably for the best, I'm sure they weren't doing my arteries any favours. Still, :negative:

Because [some] actual ChampagneTM is tasty (not enough to justify the price tag in most cases, but still) while most other bubbly white wine I've tried is about as good as most non-bubbly white wine, which is to say it tastes like sewage.

e/ to be less hyperbolic, it's specifically sauvingon blanc I can't stand. It's acidic and it smells really bad and the only thing it's good for is stabilising fondue. Prosecco is irredeemable.

If anyone fancies a bit of hopeful news going into 2018, a survey for the Independent has found that Labour have a large amount of potentially untapped support.

Although Labour are pretty much neck and neck with the Tories, significantly more people think Labour share their values and understand 'people like them' than are actually planning to vote for them. But for the Tories, most people who identify with them are already Tory voters. So while the Tories are basically tapped out at 40%, Labour still really need to focus on winning over non-voters because the support is out there.

Cultures thrive on their myths and legends...and snuggles!
I'm confused as to how anyone can have enough interest in politics to be able to say that they believe that a political party shares their values while also saying that they're not going to vote. Like, I understand apathetic voters or people who feel like none of the parties represent them, but those would seem to preclude the first statement?

Not to mention that the Tory base is literally dying off. The only party that can realistically increase its support in a major way are Labour, which is a pretty nice spot to be in when you've got a massive and motivated army of volunteers ready to go convince people to go out and vote come the next election.

Corbyn has also found his stride as a campaigner rather than spending all his time in Westminster trying to fend off knives in the back. Apparently he's already planning a 'Grand Tour' for himself in the new year, and creating a new unit of the party to organise in 'forgotten' former strongholds. Plus of course Momentum who made a massive contribution to the technological and social media campaign.

Pissflaps hilarious sour grapes aside, there are a lot of reasons to be positive going into 2018.

It is technically true that tories are dying off though the difference at present is that they don't appear to be getting replaced very well because most people under 40 or so prefer labour.

And the entire point is that the survey suggests that that might be the limit of their support absenting a substantial change in either party resulting in different people wanting to vote for them.

Also remember how pissflaps spent about two years straight yelling about how it's a waste of time trying to activate non-voters because they won't go to the polls anyway? Kinda funny contrast to his newfound expertise on how to do just that.

Remember when UKIP lost over three million votes when compared to 2015? Do wonder where they might have gone. Sure is a mystery for the ages.

How does that work with the tories and labour picking up six million extra votes between them? There's only 64 million people in the country.

Widely pilloried by who? The Guardian? Aside from the broadcast media (who are compelled to be impartial) most newspapers were singing her praises up until election day. It was only after the exit poll dropped that people started slinging mud for her 'terrible campaign'.

If the Tories had actually won a decent majority then her campaign, with its rigid message discipline and precisely choreographed media events, would be being held up as a glorious example of how to win elections. With the exception of her embarrassing manifesto U-turn the vast majority of the criticism has come after the result.
