After googling said conundrum and collating an extensive spreadsheet from the many and varied results the conclusion is that he would moan about whatever it is in a popular thread on the platform that is the internet.WHAT WOULD IVA DO?

Because several examples of an item I work with had repeatedly failed a particular type of quality control testing, and the theory as to why (and this how to rectify production) hinged on being confirmed by the results of a different QC test I was running. The anomalous results of this would indeed seem to confirm things.
Sadly they only informed me that these results were urgently needed halfway through through the day when I was already set up with testing something different, and had planned to test the product in question tomorrow. Had I been told this morning, I could have swapped my schedule around....
I have not run out of Port, in fact I have 3 bottles of it. However I fancied the refreshing taste of a long drink mixer this evening.
Dinner was nice in the end too - lamb sausages in a tomato and bean casserole with some mash

Marvellous. Please don't be outraged but at Christmas I made the world's blandest trifle. It had absolutely no taste. Hoping to jazz it up a bit, my thoughts turned to sherry. There was none in the sideboard. And so it came to pass that the Port trifle was invented. It was - what's the word? - okay. It was certainly an improvement on tasteless trifle.
When it comes to trifle, I'm ashamed to say I'm massively proletarian. Bird's packet mix in all flavours of synthetic plastic and E-numbers is impossible to beat. Heston with his worm gizzard and seagull vomit trifle might disagree, but then I have less silly spectacles* than him so who's really winning?

I shall say this only once. Trifle sponges, TWO large punnets of raspberries, one pack decent raspberry jelly and a pack of good readymade custard.
Use one punnet of raspberries to make a coulis and use it to make the jelly. Then it's a layer of sponge fingers, a layer of raspberries (the other punnet), layer of sponge fingers, pour on jelly mix. When set, pour on custard. Resist the temptation to embellish the trifle.
The reason I use ready made custard is that it doesn't skin like it will if you make Bird's. Much as I like Bird's, it skins. There's no getting away from it. Skin has its place and that place is not on trifle.
