    Don't fancy getting some simple kit to grind and brew your own ?
    The argument is no space in the kitchen and given that if I bought something one of the Eek Jrs would probably have minimum 5 cups a day I doubt it would be allowed...
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

      Aw shame.

      I have no flash machine, we have a tiny kitchen, simply a grinder and a stainless steel cafetiere that's it.

            In exciting Harrogate developments, the scaffolding has been removed from the front of Betty's, so an uninterrupted view of Valley Gardens has now been re-instated for the cream tea types. Except when i'm shuffling by with my pasty, obviously.

              I got caught back in it on the way back from doing exercise.

              I need to go out and get a prescription and go to the supermarket.

If they do issue one it is subject to you having bonded storage, accounting procedures and processes in place to pay the appropriate duty.

                You can get a rectifiers licence which has less stringent requirements that would allow you to take distilled spirits and re-distill them to produce gin or other flavored spirits at the same or lower ABV.

                Essentially they don't want you distilling at home and while they can't stop you, they don't have to make it easy.
                Looking at the requirements on the L5 form for rectifying/compounding alcohol.

                  The car passed its MOT

                  Naturally, this news arrived when I was in the shower. It also coincided with the rain reaching its heaviest so far, meaning I got wetter walking the mile to collect it than I had done in the shower

                  Got to go shopping later but I'm hoping the rain will have passed on its way by then.

                    Will be an early bath for me, from work, as my youngest brother is up from Bristol
                    How very odd (as much NF's observation as your vinegar whiff!).

                    Brown sauce or ketchup is the usual ask; ketchup tends to be sturdier stuff than the cheap tomato sauce that you get from burger vans and cheaper take-aways. While it's always good to see that an eatery has gone with Heinz Ketchup and HP Sauce, Daddies is a perfectly acceptable alternative, hence brown sauce being a sufficient ask.
