    Statues

    Look at that again. It is some idiot having a pee NEXT to the memorial. Silly , yes , but peeing ON it? No. The left wing media have again turned something into which it is clealy not. I say this as a retired police officer who is disgusted by much of the rest of it.

    Mounted and riot police clashed with protesters on London's Whitehall on Saturday.

    In which case, the post should have been edited with separate explanation and not completely deleted. The factual issues have also been erased. Very democratic.

    Mounted and riot police clashed with protesters on London's Whitehall on Saturday.

    No thank you. It would have been nice though for the mod to have checked first though because everything said was factual. Too long in the tooth to do / post otherwise. Still nice to be able to monitor / contribute to other topics.

    Mounted and riot police clashed with protesters on London's Whitehall on Saturday.

    To be fair that was me and was only part of my response.. That said, I was there at Clapham when it happened. Eye witness. It is a shame the rest of my reply was also deleted because that was also fact ( documented ) with regard to Boris and his water cannons and how May had him over but hey...

    I do all mine using 1 x Youngs 33l bin and 2 x Youngs 25l wide neck bins... All plastic opaque. I do have a 30 l ( did have 2 until an accident ) glass dj and it never gets used now. My bins work a good rotation of ferment, rack get another on then bottle . Like many, I have so much...

    Added too many finings by mistake

    I would not worry about it. I have on several occasions 'dipped' WELL into a 30 bottle kit post fermentation but well before adding the finings. Some actually settle down and clear quite well before that stage. I have then added the finings two stage but put the whole sachets in regardless...

    Wine bottle

    +1 on that. You can reuse the original original caps for a while but the Novatwist are excellent and I trust them far more. I have reused mine time and time ( AND TIME ) again.. You get the occasional one that decides to go wrong but VERY rare. I have posted elsewhere looking for current...

    Novatwist Reusable Plastic Screw Caps For Wine Bottles.

    Thanks. Works out around the same though as the few others I found. Plus of course, would any self respecting red wine drinker put gold tops on? You were not to know though to be fair.

    Novatwist Reusable Plastic Screw Caps For Wine Bottles.

    Anybody got a decent recent UK supplier for these... I have been googling a bit but those that appear to be reasonable want about £6.50 postage to deliver 36 little pieces of plastic. Robbery!!!! ;)

    Beaverdale Pinot Grigio

    I did one of these a long time ago. We are not great white drinkers but this was good chilled. Sorry, cannot for the life of me remember whether I had chips or not!!

    A question on potassium sorbate and bottling

    Hi Chippy. Going on from this, you have not mentioned potassium metabisulphate which I understand is also a preservative. How is this different to the sorbate? Not sure if ok to diverse slightly here but as you know my preferred kits now are 30 bottle Kendridge. I want to try and lay some...

    How will wine kits compare to beer kits for quality?

    Beaverdale out of stock with Creative but drop another 8 squids for the Kenridge. In stock. wink...

    How will wine kits compare to beer kits for quality?

    If it helps and for what it is worth. I have now made just over 70 x 30 bottle kits. My advice would be to avoid the cheaper ones like Winebuddy. I was not over impressed with California either. Beaverdale are nice and I recommend them but for something nicer still I suggest the Kenridge...
