    There's my evenings ruined

    Ban on the sale of cheap alcohol - Telegraph

    Supermarkets, shops and pubs are to be banned from selling alcohol below a minimum price for the first time, under Coalition plans to be unveiled today.



    How much is a bottle of meths these days?

    Fixed prices. That does not sound too communistic does it?

      At least we have got rid of Labour and it's nanny state.

      State control of prices would never happen under the Tories.

        Not at all. I'd expect cheap vodka under communism.

        (And I was expecting Victory Gin under New Liebour.)

                I tried that excuse on a teacher when he asked me to go and pick some from the playing field to give to the schools pet rabbit - not that I thought it did, just that I didn't want to go out picking sodding dandelions for a sodding rabbit.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                    The limit is something like 40p on a can of beer or £10 on a litre of vodka. Nothing good is that cheap, normally. Only supermarket super-deals on 24cans for £10 which works out as 40p, and those are rare.

                    What happens to the extra money? Supermarkets just get to sell for more and keep the extra?
