I’d be up for the Cambridge geek dinner / beer / social thing, it’s easier to get to than London!

Hugh — do you have approx times for these visits. 3 in a day looks challenging given the drive between them — or is it a 10 minute gig in each one! Hope to make Cirencester on the 8th … D

I’m just down the road from the Brooklands store — but what time will you be there? The 14th is a work day after all.….

Dang — 1 stop in God’s Country (Yorkshire to all them’s except Stuart) and there I am with 5 kids and 10.5 grandchildren gagging to find out if this weirdo from Cumbria via Madison Avenue is truly barking mad or whether their dad is a bare faced liar. Oh yeah — might sell some Stormhoek…doh!
Seriously — sounds like hell.

Hurrah! A reason to live in Abingdon! I think an evening drinkette is called for (and I’m so going to be a HM groupie at Tesco).

Re wines not available online or in tesco yet: the Stormhoek Cartoon Series Rose launches exclusively in 50 top Extra stores for the first time this weekend and the Stormhoek Sauvignon Blanc 2006 and Stormhoek PInotage 2006 launch in March in many more stores… You won’t find the wines online until mid March but they’ll be in store!

Hugh, if you fancy a bloggers dinner/beer after the Tadcaster stop then let me know. After all Yorkshire is the UK capital of blogging: http://www.stuartbruce.biz/2007/01/yorkshire_is_bl.html

Hey it seems that Tesco online is unaware of Stormhoek? Perhaps you might like to look into that…
“Sorry, we couldn’t find any wines to match your search for stormhoek.
Please try searching again.“
Just thought you might like to know…
Cheers,
Nigel

I budget about 2 hours per store. I like to shake the hands, kiss the babies, of course (everyone from receiving to check out), but also do competitive analysis. Count facings, record pricing, chat up people to see what is selling and what they’re thinking about delisting (big opp there).
