  1. For the moment, they’re also deducting 10% of the wine component of the total cost (to allow for the duty decrease). So, this reduces the €12.50 by an additional 80c-€1 or so !

  2. Seems the UK selection that is posted on their website is not exactly what we get. Our local (small) M&S generally only has a choice of 1 red / 1 white, and didn’t have the oakham chicken or the cheese selection on offer (which was exactly what I went in to get). This forced me to have the profiterole stack (life can be hard).
