I think I need to get used to heights given that I was up on the London Eye yesterday and what happened earlier this afternoon… Today sees the launch of J2O’s new ‘White Blend’ drinks which are based around grapes so they’re a lot less heavy and sweet than their existing range and, instead, are [...]
