...OK I admit it, thinking of the bottle line up!

I can't see any errors, but what is in the small text in the Napa Prager circle? Does it say "Doh!" like I think it does.
Also a gentle reminder to attendees that 9 bottles will generate a £180 corkage fee to be shared between the 5 of us in addition to the cost of food and tips.

The placemats and tasting notes have been printed and appear to be both accurate and attractive.
I have to say that I had some difficulty with the /GlassesOnSheets settings which resulted in me having to invoke a bi-file workaround.
Unfortunately, the Helpdesk and I were not available at the same time today so a full debrief of the printed parameter initilisation section of the code will be required over a pint of brown warm stuff tomorrow afternoon to attempt to identify where I went wrong.

Skeffington 1991?
Brother Derek has been coping it seems, for which much thanks. By text he has suggested an extra section in the manual, provisionally entitled “Strategies for coping with the stress caused by indecisive attendees who keep changing the line-up just when you think the placemat is finished†. Any ideas for what such a section could contain?
Also, a correction. Skeffington 1991? The label fails to mention the word Skeffington at all: perhaps I had been told in the shop? And the label mentions only one date, 1991, which I failed to note was prefixed by the words “bottled in†, which explains why the cork says “Vintage 1989†. Other than that, my description was spot-on.
See you soon.
