Beer up by 4p a pint, wine 14p a bottle, spirits 55p a bottle and cider 3p a litre by Sunday. Duties on alcohol will go up by 2% above inflation for next four years.
First the smokers, then the drinkers..........
Who's next?
Cake eaters - believe me.

But Greene King Abbot Ale is still only £1.26 in JDW pubs.
17.5% on condoms, probably.
Which should make "DIY" more popular, at least. ;-)

The message from Andy Cap contains these words:

Small businesses are hard pressed to stay afloat. Red-Tape, High interest, Taxes etc etc.
Naturally the huge conglomerates that many MPs have their finger into would (have* to be appeased because the share dividends and kick-backs would stop if they pissed off the MDs.
Straw-man argument...
Err, I doubt it, in fact I suspect that the net result of any such a tax would cost the country more than it could ever raise, what with the increased expenditure on single parent benefits etc... :~(
I've got a bag of sausage skins in the freezer. Any offers?

I have read that banana skins are better for DIY. Never tried them though ;-)
