For the most part we have lost the art of a chat down the pub and a sensible approach to drinking as an adjunct to conversation or pub games. With Mien Host there to monitor consumption & stop selling at the right moment before trouble is likely to start.
Can anyone see the supermarkets allowing tax on booze to go up to a prohibitive level?  |
People stopped going down the pub when the price of a pint or glass of wine became stupidly overpriced and the way supermarket prices have gone up over the last 2 years is totally unacceptable.
