The picture, snapped on a mobile phone in our local Sainsbury, says it all really.
I am not one of those old farts who wants to preserve traditions. I might be saddened by the widespread loss of courtesy and politeness, I might be shocked that so many people these days seem unable to speak coherent English and I might make a lot of noise regarding the systematic dumbing down of our culture and education. But that doesn’t mean I disdain ‘progress’ – whatever that means – or wish to preserve old ways and traditions just for the sake of it. But really…. there are some things that should remain sacrosanct.
A decent pair of shoes should come in a box. A silk tie should be gently wrapped in tissue paper. Quality cigars should not come encased in cellophane. And wine…. ah wine. It was bad enough slopping plonk into a plastic bag inside a cardboard box – but this?
I am lost for words.
That wine is for the posh people, not chavs !!! Posh people serve their wine in a decanters, so any old crap can go in. Chavs are more likely to serve or swig from the bottle, therefore the label matters !!!!!
