Anythings better than the duty escalators of the last lot. Never forget who put up the duty on the working man's pint by 25% and don't get me started on fuel duty escalators. :mad:

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

That will help the British micro breweries - not. Last time I bought a round I had to remortgage the house! Teresa May must do something with those bags under her eyes, she looks like she has been on the razz all night.

I prefer Whiskey so no help for me :).

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

Wow!

You must have a very expensive local.......

Near me, a round for 4 costs between £12 and £15 - you must have had a very small mortgage.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

This is so irresponsible.

dropping the price by 1p will just encourage people to drink more beer!
for the next few months people are going to be celebrating a penny off by buying more beer!

Are you a hardcore alcoholic.

a normal alcoholic.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I have only a drink in a pub on 2 occasions since the smoking ban started in Welsh pubs. And the prices on the second occasion hardened me to never darken the doorway of a pub ever again.

Don't you brew your own?

and more great news for the black market tobacco industry

Going up in smoke
Duty on tobacco will remain subject to its existing 2%-above-inflation increase.

"I have no changes to make to the duties on tobacco and gaming already announced," said Mr Osborne.

This means the price of a packet of 20 cigarettes will go up by 16p from 6pm, while the price of 25 grams of hand rolling tobacco will also go up by 16p.

Nope just someone who can afford to buy whiskey ;)

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

The only part I liked was the Tax allowance for savers..

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I used to, got bored. :(

Although I have kick-started a mate to brew his own and he brings me samples. :)

With interest rates so low, I hardly think about saving these days, I just spend to beat inflation (which we all know is nowhere as low as they say).

30 billion pounds more worth of cuts needed after the next election he said.

we're Booked.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I still have savings dwindling but I still have savings.But then I don't smoke and I don't drink,I own my home and I barely go out.So I want whatever I can get for putting my money where the banks can speculate to make more money.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I doubt the price of beer will go down, and the publicans will pocket that 1p

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

If anyone believes in all that crap Osborne came out with today, need there heads examined.

Its an election con. What they could have done, was to scrap the Bedroom Tax. You have all noticed that he will not increase fuel duty - an election con.

After the election - IF they get back in, they will put everything up. I don't smoke - But, why they cant increase the cost of that to £20 per packet - people would still buy them. But then if people didn't buy them, it would save on people going to A&E.

And did you see Clegg's face. The face that says that he will have to resign after a heavy defeat at the election

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

Given the rate at which pubs are closing, they need it.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

Its not a con, for the time being there are savings to be had.

Thats a plus no matter how you look at it really. Just be bloody happy for once!!

Even if the Torys gave everybody a gold brick Arthur would find something wrong with it.

God help us if his lot get in.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

They'd want 2 gold bricks back in return.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I cannot believe it that members want a Conservative Government again. Don't you have any sympathy for people that are struggling to survive. And depend on Footbanks.

I have a job and even l am struggling to make ends meet

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

:rofl:

There'd be more chance of that if Brown hadn't sold off a massive chunk of our gold reserves in order to prop up his fake boom.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I don't think that would be a good idea. It would cost the country a ton and probably push up inflation. It would also disproportionatly help the strong as gold is very heavy and doing it in brick form would harm those who can't pick up such a weight. Plus the increase in crime it would cause when everyone knows every house has a gold brick would be off the charts.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

I dont want Labour simple as that, we would be back in the same place we were in when they left that note that said we have spent all the money.

Re: Beer duty cut by 1p a pint
 

Perfect. :)
