I stopped when a packet of 25 Royals went over £3, ha, ha!! Half an hour ago the woman in the Co op says it will take some brands over £8 for 20. They are putting them up from 6pm tonight!

In my opinion we need a significant increase in duty on takeaway alcohol and the ceasing of these pubs heavily discounting beer and spirits. Whats needed is a national price per unit of alcohol giving a minimum/maximum price that can be charged in pubs!
