Well there seems to be another media outcry, this time directed at the change to the licencing laws. Apparently we will become people who spend every extended hour in the pub imbibing 3000 pints of gin before staggering forth, clubbing and copulating with the first object we come to, which will make the late night taxi trade become not only more dangerous but also much more unhygenic. Examples of this behavior have been taken fom every Brit holiday destination. Of course what they don't say is that without the restriction on opening hours there won't be the urge to binge and that the reason these holiday spots are so bad is because the sunseekers have been trained to line up 10 pints before closing time, which there never comes. It will be a few weeks before things settle but at least it won't mean everyone poured onto the street at the same time and does not mean that the landlord cannot refuse to serve someone who's too drunk. Better that we learn to grow up as a society rather than rely on mummy government to tell us when bedtime is. Or if there's so much of a problem why not make the stuff illegal for the under 50's?
And why (again) is the media trying to whip up a panic? Is it summer with not much news going on?
Oh... yes!

Hiya its me B! Ive been sitting here this morning talking about the new drinking laws and when i log on to your blog there it is in writing, made me smile :)
I'm glad that you appreciate it! We did discuss it last night but I thought it'd probably be beneficial to put it up there.
