For the third time in a row, the bottle of coke I bought at the shop is labeled in a language other than English, this time Slovak. At first I thought this was some kind of European Union thing about equalizing languages or something. But then I found out that the British are quite keen to travel to Calais, France to load up on beverages, which cost less than 50% the price in Britain.

I don't know about soft drinks, but some friends just got back with 80 bottles of wine and and an enormous beer supply, which is all perfectly legal. But it's not legal to resell it. Anyway, the cops can't keep track of all the shopkeepers in London, so it looks like those rascals at the Video Shop are Eastern European coke smugglers too. Oh well, tasted fine.
