Prince Harry & Dumbo

The Thinking Drinkers Podcast

Amid all this talk of Harry and Meghan, we explore Edward VII, aka "Dirty Bertie" - the original Playboy Prince with some cracking King's Ginger liqueur.

Then, having once again proven that #winewritingiswelleasy, we make ourselves a Bicicletta for birthday boy and Pirate peddler Marco Pantani.

If you'd like to see Edward VII's 's3x chair' (and why wouldn't you?) then click here.
