No problem with that. I'll just drop a suitable container on a rope when
I'm next on the transporter bridge. So that'll be 720 bottles at £9.99 each
= £7192.80 plus the P&P at cost. Bottles will be labelled with a photo of
the bridge, a certificate of authenticity and a statutory health warning.
PayPal or Nochex both acceptable. I'm booking my flight to the Bahamas
tomorrow :-)
