If it is any consolation, fine wines (including vintage champagne) needs to be stored somewhere cool and dark. Glass fronted wine coolers just don't cut it. In addition, vintage champagne only has a shelf life of around 10 years when stored in ideal conditions. So despite the price, a 2015 Cristal is getting to the point of being meh.ijustlovesavingmoney said:

I have something similar-ish, but only four of my wardrobe doors are mirrored, out of six. It's not me that wanted that - it was my wife. I hardly notice them now that I'm used to them.mark_cycling00 said:Nothing too unusual in this modern and rather expensive house ..... apart from an "interesting" bedroom mirror setup.

Amazing where you end up on t'internet some mornings!
20 minutes ago I read an article on the BBC about the Fawlty Towers stage play.- This led me to the Fawlty Towers Wikipedia page.
- This led me to Ballard Berkley who played the Major.
- This led me to a page on his other TV roles.
- This led me to him playing an old dad in "Fresh Fields", a sticom from the 80's which I had completely forgotten about.
- This led me to the house used for the show.
- This led me to an auction listing that it is for sale for £3.25 million (amazing what an accountant and a part time cafe worker could afford in the mid 1980's
)

Well camouflaged but eventually spotted, unlike the car in the garage.

Showed my husband. He is absolutely torn between loving something like that to gaze at his vehicle and knowing he would have to keep it a whole load tidier.Patr100 said:Well camouflaged but eventually spotted, unlike the car in the garage.

do not use their garage for their car but store any old rubbish in there, it would hardly impress to show everyone the mess.1
