I did buy some beer, about 12 bottles but he's borderline diabetic so his consumption is allegedly limited these days. He used to drink terrifying quantities; I've seen him drink 3 litres of wine in an afternoon and was worried about his longevity.

I am reassured he's nothing like that anymore, but we'll see.

No it was tinned meat, mayonnaise, salad cream. British sundries you can't get where they are.
