At Last Some Good News

It would appear that the plans for a "Minimum" alcohol unit price have been shelved, for once common sense has prevailed, and for me personally, it means I can still afford food.

Re: At Last Some Good News

When I saw your title of the post I thought I hope its about the abandonment of the minimum unit price of alcohol.
Yippee. I will still be able to go into the city on Friday night and
stagger around with the kids. Not of course
Good job they did as the reasonable drinkers like myself would be
crucified just because the idiots cant control themselves.

Re: At Last Some Good News

Cheap booze should be stopped, people who don't drink are subsidizing the boozers, that is not fair.
because the supermarkets slash booze they then put their losses on the food, let's get real food is more important than booze.

Good morning Wrinkly, there is a saying "no market, no sale".

What a sad comment, even if it was meant as a joke!

It has only been kicked out because of those boozy MP's don't like it.
Michael Gove, Teresa May, and others, you know those with the purple noses.

Good news. I can carry on soaking my dried fruit in brandy and making my fruit and cinnamon scones, combining both booze and food

Re: At Last Some Good News

If people want to buy alcohol they will do so anyway whatever the price. It won't change anything. All it will do is to unfairly penalise responsible drinkers.

Re: At Last Some Good News

The idiots in the Scottish government still seem intent of punishing drinkers with a minimum of 50p / unit levy. This is the main strategy of the SNP - punish everyone for everything - some of them are bound to be guilty!

Still, Scots who live near the border will benefit, and I will stock up when I visit the girls in England. Mean time, I'm getting the home brew started again.
