Thanks for the welcome guys.
Bob, could be some time before I make it to a wine circle meet, I just can't keep anything longer than 6 months at the mo (waaaay to young for your tastes) due to me and the brother in law having wine tasting sessions a couple of times a week!!

He and I have regular "tastings" too
You will have to pop over next time......
and mebbe you an He (and your Bro in law) can share the taxi costs to the wine circle, don't get the wrong idea, we aren't wine snobs, we just meet and drink for relaxation.... I was so relaxed last month I had to be helped to the car (Isn't that right Karl)N.G.W.B.J.

I rent a unit at Green Lane Business Park, just to the rear of Linpac. Bob is just down the road at Knottingly and there are many members here within a stones throw.
Stay in touch even if you don't fancy the ponte meeting, the forum is full of great advice, tips and generally a fun place to talk winemaking.
Oh and those imported grapes that Bob keeps pushing on us are crap so don't buy any. Just kidding Iv'e tasted the wine from them and it's darn good Keep in touch...DuffDiscount Home Brew Supplies

p.s. Oh and as I'm one of those "spooky linux user types", any recipes for "open source mead (theres already open source beer - apparently) would be excellent.Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

I could always move the other side of Brighton to be even closer i.e. with time I guess I could find a house right on top of the Meridian - except it gets damned breezy up there on the cliff top!
Nah! probably some victorian/Imperial nut job, who just couldn't be bothered to think up an easier way of expressing lat/long
