Was it the same Iraqi taxi driver who told Heston Blumenthal (or Hester as he’s called by WOSA on Twitter) “Cape Town is the most beautiful city in the world and the vineyards are only 45 minutes away” as the one who told the infamous British spy that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that could reach London in 45 minutes?

Acidic raisins with rancio, there is nothing in the SA national cellar to come close to this weapon of mass intoxication.
