I was just teasing up Arcade, just a little.

Of course, if curry is one of you favorite meals, since you were young, nothing's going to change that. An i like curry too, but, of course, when i want curry, i go to an indian restaurant.
Enough of food, back to the topic.
no problems.. of course, without the Brits you wouldn't have had a Port industry!...

I can't agree on that, doc. Indeed you were very helpful, in the past, in lauching the production in large scale. But you can´t convince me that we would never do exactly the same a few decades after. After all... we have the sun, the soil, and the vineyards. You only brought the money and the enterpreneur skills.

We also brought you the barrels and the main market for the product, and as a result a peace treaty between the countries, one of the oldest in existence...
Its easy to say , we would have done this or done that..
The main point is we recognized the opportunity - and don't forget who owns most of the brands till this day.....
Case rested m'lud..
