As <a href="http://studentbrewer.blogspot.com/2011/01/minimum-pricing-in-supermarkets.html" rel="nofollow">The Student Brewer</a> said a while ago <i>"But the main point I want to make is this. If Jack has £1 to spend on alcohol, at the moment he'd go to the supermarket. He can't afford the £3 in a pub. Put the prices up in the supermarket to £1.50 - he can't drink. But he still wouldn't be spending money in a pub - so how the hell does reducing disposable income of customers help pubs?"</i>manwiddicombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499331812704446499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-42063301838504549282011-06-07T01:07:27.608+01:002011-06-07T01:07:27.608+01:00Having recently been to Switzerland I was amazed t...Having recently been to Switzerland I was amazed to see a beautifully appointed (although small) smoking area in the airport terminal.<br /><br />Where there's a will ...subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-19539524851462697362011-06-06T23:40:58.006+01:002011-06-06T23:40:58.006+01:00Let it roll... trust in politicians and their &quo...Let it roll... trust in politicians and their "expert" cronies ably assited by the utterly idiotic sheepy clingons like SLTA (and CAMRA)will reap it's just reward. <br /><br />They will of course target home brewers in time. I daresay there's people who'll relish the idea of a uniform and a better than shelf stacker hourly wage for busting doors down to seize illicit brewing paraphernalia.
