I went through the usual "We can't afford it - I'm teetotal - S won't want to drink it on Xmas day as she's driving etc etc" routine. Mrs O said "it's Christmas" and plonked a bottle firmly in the trolley.
4 ailses further on, I found a mountion of Asda's own speciality "Extra Special Non-Alcoholic White Grape and Elderflower Sparkly" priced at £2 a bottle. "Look", says the Ostrich, ladling armfuls of bottles into the trolley, "We can have 5 bottles of this for the price of that Brut. Shall I go put the Brut back, dearest?"
I was told, quite firmly, where to pop my cork .....
100% agree with Mrs O
