I managed to get a Tesco delivery slot last week, and treated myself to a bottle of my favourite malt whisky.
It was delivered in one of these gimmicky presentation boxes, which I got around to opening last night, to find the bottle inside is still fitted with a big chunky security device. The kind that look a bit like a flying saucer on its side, clamped to the neck of the bottle. They’re normally removed by a machine at checkouts.
So my new challenge is... how to remove that device? I’m betting it’s not meant to be easy and will require more than wire snips. I’m definitely going to avoid searching the web for answers, as I am wary of what kind of sites I might land upon.
No hints please, this is not that kind of forum, though humorous ideas welcomed. One sure fire method I have thought of so far is to drink all the whisky, then break the bottle?
Or maybe I should resist drinking it at all but keep that bottle in reserve for when life is back to normal, then produce it in front of house guests and watch the raised eyebrows.
