Kim, you are very bad!
I'm down to my last 327 bottles of gin.
I'm on my way to yours. I know I'll recognise it from the bears and the road that you cannot turn round in. I reckon, between three of us, this gin bottles would last until until 31st May.

Apparently some are even refusing to supply carrier bags as a compromise.
