一直以来都以为英国人不喜欢在家酿酒,只是喜欢在超级市场里买.我问过很多朋友,说为什么你们那么喜欢喝红酒,何不自己家酿呢?
我想原因有好几个:
1.酿红酒的工艺很复杂,不是每个人都能handle的.而且不同地方的葡萄都有不同的风味.不象米酒,基本都一样.
2.英国人根本就没有这个习惯.
但是居然还有这样一个网站介绍在家酿酒的工具,但是作为一个购物网站,居然没有产品的图片.?
很落后啊!!

练口语,赚英镑
这样的工作简直就是好,自己制定工作的时间,赚英镑...哈哈哈!
其实就是一些聊天热线,人家打10p一分钟的电话进来和你聊天(当然要迎合顾客的需要拉....),然后你和电话公司分帐.
有两家公司:
1. www.exceltelemedia.co.uk
就是纯粹聊天.
2. www.4dtelecom.co.uk
这个公司经营sky的873/874频道,你要自己制定短信发到电视上,然后吸引观众打电话进来...(坐班制,11pm到7am)

Go to work by Thames - River Commuting
=====================
River commuting by Julia Buckley, Tuesday 5 September 2006 16:00
Fed up with spending half an hour or so each day in a packed and stuffy Tube carriage with your nose inches from someone’s armpit? Then commuting by boat could be the thing for you.
The craft that ply the Thames are no Greek island-hopping rust-buckets. Instead, you travel to work courtesy of a flotilla of privately owned, designer-draped pleasure boats with names such as Hurricane, Sun, Moon and The Viscount ? boats so swish that people hire them by the hour.
They’re not slow either ? a journey from the Savoy Pier (between Temple and Embankment) to Canary Wharf takes 23 minutes in Thames Clippers’ 32mph flagship, Hurricane, while the same route via the Underground takes 19 minutes.
And who wouldn’t sacrifice four minutes for the privilege of arriving in a machine such as Hurricane, adorned with Damien Hirst decoration? It runs from central London to Canary Wharf and on to Woolwich on weekday evenings at peak hours.
During busy Thames Clipper periods, you’ll be met by the Sun and Moon clippers. At 32 metres long, they are the big daddies of the fleet, and capable of carrying 138 passengers. They run from the Savoy Pier to Canary Wharf and Woolwich.
Putney-dwellers can try Thames Executive Charters’ John Harriot, a 24-seater with a mahogany-lined saloon which runs from Putney to Blackfriars via Chelsea Harbour, Cadogan Pier and Embankment. Two other TEC boats ply the Putney route.
With Thames Clippers claiming on-time stats of 98 per cent, you have to ask: “What’s the catch?” The only restrictions are route ? if you don’t live on the river, it won’t help you ? and price. Boats don’t come under the Oyster umbrella ? although being an Oyster-holder gets you a one-third discount ? and a commute from the Savoy Pier to Canary Wharf with Thames Clippers costs ?4.85 return (?7.30 without a travelcard).
TEC has Putney-Blackfriars tickets for ?11 standard return, and Chelsea to Embankment is ?8 return.
Then there is the frequency of service ? Thames Clippers runs boats every 30 minutes (every 15 minutes between 8.30 and 9.30am) and TEC services range from 15 to 45 minutes apart.
Add the fact that you could be chugging a cappuccino on your morning journey and a beer on your return, and you quickly realise why river commuting is increasing by 50 per cent year on year.
Fast facts
More than 700,000 Londoners a year commute by boat with Thames Clippers and Thames Executive Charters ? companies working for Transport for London
Passengers can take bikes on board or leave them in cycle racks at most piers
At every pier, a tracking system tells you when the next boat is due
Stringent passenger limits mean that you might not be allowed on if boats are full, but the boat companies insist this is a rare occurrence
All boats guarantee you a seat and all boats have toilets
River commuters have been increasing by 40-50 per cent year on year. In the wake of the 7/7 bombings, they went up by 80 per cent
