   France is a ridiculous country with a ridiculous time zone.

   “It is twenty past eight”

   No. It isn’t. And it’s still dark. You’re only lying to yourselves.

     Gonna get the EasyJet back to Lisboa where they have food that isn’t poisonous and sunrise at a sensible time.

     Yesterday @zoe was like, “let’s get wine”

     And knowing we were corkscrew challenged, I was like, “ok, but it has to be screw top”

     And she’s like, “you sure they have that in France?”

     And I’m like, “of course they do! It’s not Portugal!”

     (Portugal is the largest cork producer in the world. Using screw top wine bottles is treason).

     And sure enough, there it was. With a screw top.

     @nonlinear @goatsarah Most wine in France uses corks. But more variable in the UK but still predominantly cork. Portugal is unusual for having NO screw tops.

     @goatsarah @zoe I'm really curious. Is it just Portugal, US, Canada and Mexico that use corks for wine? We use screw tops in Aotearoa New Zealand. My memory is that Switzerland uses screw tops.
