All the more reason to home brew and do the SNP out of tax.

Scotland is run by the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), who are effectively socialists in frocks and not overly bright thereby. Even so, you would expect even them to have the mother wit to not raise the price of booze when there is an election barely a few months away.

Good job I buy mine at the other end of the British Isles. |

Keep an eye on prices, they go up and down like a yo-yo. Sainsburys prices are usually for nectar card prices, Tesco prices are card related too.
Morrisons often have good deals — it’s almost like these similar prices are shared around between chains…

70cl is about 4 gills.
A litre is about one and three quarter pints or not very far off a quart

The bottom line is that its just a tax on socialising or maybe to prevent gathering and organising insurrection

Good job I buy mine at the other end of the British Isles. Where do you get that from ? The idea is to discourage those with alcohol issues to stop buying cheap drink in supermarkets. It's a minimum price under which cheap crappy alcohol can't be sold. I dont think jaikeys are buying bottles of tullibardine single malt to savour from their brown paper bags do you? It is funny listening to the brit nats on these forums , one minute slagging scotland off for having alcohol and drug problems largely caused by the deprivation of their union , then the next slagging scotland off for trying to do something about it on the advice of the medical profession , social services , police and many others . |

But home brewing and distilling is even cheaper. Home made vodka doesn't take long to make. prior to the union of 1707 , contemporary scotland had one of the healthiest populations in Europe. I wonder what happened after 1707 Vinny? We went from our economy growing at 2.5% per annum , to crashing for the next century of union .We ate healthily from our large stocks of salmon and cod , our oats , drank fine French wine and of course our own single malts , while dining on delicacies like fine haggis and stovies. Living like kings in our vast and beautiful countryside. Then , we were crammed into the slums of the quickly built cities after the union , and force fed cheap crappy English food and drink. I dont think we are going to take lectures from a country that eats jellied fucking eels , and can't brew a decent drop of alcohol. |
