Yes I know this subject was a long time ago, but I've only just logged on to
this newsgroup.

My current bottle of Lea & Perrins has no sell by date on it, it was bought
before those things were invented, so god only knows how old it is!

And mine is kept in the cupboard.

If anyone should respond to this I won't see it for about 2 months, when I
logged on to this newsgroup there were about 50,000 articles to download,
so far I've got about half of that!
