They can't arbitrarily ban the rumble of the V8, the buzzsaw whine of the straight 6

It's a load of old balls. I love it when governments set environmental targets when they know that some other poor sod in 20 years' time will be the one who has to explain why they haven't been met.

Doing all that later. Dinner at The Wolseley and overnight in town. Perhaps a post-prandial cocktail or two? You know the drill.

Tomorrow's going to hurt, isn't it?

Yes. Actually, I found a rather nice 11% Gamay which was very nice drunk chilled during the hotter evenings. A chap virtually sprang out of bed the next morning.

Ocado have had a perfectly quaffable Argentinian Malbec on offer at 12% and £6.95 for months. I have bought rather a lot of it
