The missus was driving back from Gatwick so wasn’t drinking so managed to snaffle a few more for me.

Strangely, I can remember a lot about the flight, I also recall it was G-YMMB. We eventually got home, I then dug out about a foot of snow off an 80 foot shared driveway as the neighbours had been waiting for me to come back. Mission complete, I then went to the pub across the road for a few pints and a steak and kidney pie.

Nice effort! And quite an appropriate username!

I think my all time best was several espresso martinis in the CCR, then 3 bottles of LPGS and a few ports (due to the lack of brandy) on an F run to to ORD.

I just a great laugh at 8 bottles of Dom Pom thread mentioned above by the way. Well worth a read.
