Any other hot alcoholic drinks we should know about? My wife brought back tales of "German fire punch" from a weekend away, which also sounds exciting.

Ah! Thank's for this thread. It's something I keep meaning to ask but I forget.
I've noticed that there are loads of places that are selling 'Mulled Cider' this year. Never noticed it before; is it wide spread? I take it that I'm being fick and it was around last year too.
A bit of googling tells me that it is the original 'Wassail' as in the drinking toast.
I might try it sometime, but something makes me think that it going to be too much for me.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Even King John couldn't get hold of decent wine, and he complained about the bits floating in it and the reak of tar from the barrels, so much so that he could only drink it while holding his breath.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
