Royal Grocers Have a King-Sized Thirst

Four men working at the royal family’s grocer, Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly, have been fired and may be charged with theft for drinking their way through more than $100,000 worth of fine wines and brandies, police said.

The Times of London said the quartet “every week for a year were able to go through drink worth around 1,200 pounds ($1,944) without once getting so drunk that they risked detection.” Fortnum and Mason is Britain’s most elegant food store.
