Obiter was tickled by a letter received by Nigel Spoor, a partner at Fairchild Dodds in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.

They tell me that maintenance is done on a very much "add hock" basis. This is certainly one of the more unusual uses for German wine that I have come across.’ And possibly the best use, dare Obiter suggest.
