A very fine bottle of claret is sitting on my desk. At this festive time of the year it's very tempting to open it. But this is no ordinary claret. It was brought in the other day by Tina, our office angel (who cooks, sows and generally looks after us). Chevalier Fantastic Fireworks 1996 is probably the only remaining unopened bottle from a case I bought some 10 years ago and gave as Christmas presents to our staff. Tina found it while clearing out the bedroom of her recently departed son and ex-FF employee, Scott, and thought I might like to have it back. Rather than drink it I've decided to have it framed and mounted in Reception as a souvenir of the 20th Century.

Scot, to be clear, is I guess only departed the family home, not this mortal coil. And he still fires shows for FF at at least annual intervals. And to give up the claret he must be stark raving bonkers!
yes l can re-affirm that scott has only left home, but hayley has just asked me "when did l take up planting seeds" ??????
Sew I stand corrected. Hayley is now appointed our new spelling consultant!
