Booze and Fags

[micmak]

I realise that both are not either healthy or PC but when are they due to go up. Is it 6 pm tonight or has a date been given?

[Bobbisox]

fags was at 6pm and booze is when the greedy brewers start to turn the screw

[ummmm]

I thought they were suppose to sell their stock before putting it up.

[cazzz1975]

I thought there was no change on booze?

[boxtops]

Booze definitely up cazzz, according to the news, 4p + on a pint of beer, 15p on a bottle of wine.

[Bobbisox]

cazzz they said that the booze hike up had already been implemented with up to 10p on a pint and 54p on a bottle of spirits

[welshlibranr]

Not sure cazz, didn't watch all of it!..........but they are bound to hit booze!.......easy target!..........

[cazzz1975]

ahh, I missed that !

[boxtops]

Your beer's more expensive than mine, bobbi!

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha must be the Newcastle Broon boxy, even that's brewed somewhere else now though

[boxtops]

Just glad I don't drink either....

Another reason to hate Mad Dog cameron

[Bobbisox]

I don't smoke but I do enjoy a wee drink at weekends

[cazzz1975]

last time I smoked, ciggies were £2.05 for 20

[micmak]

If what you say is correct, fags and booze is an extra £6 a week. I can remember when I only earned £5 a week. How times have changed.

[boxtops]

Coincidence micmak, this morning I was only remembering how my first gross pay was £7 a week.... and how postage is going up at the beginning of April, it will then cost more than ten shillings to post a first class letter.

[welshlibranr]

yes mikmak, and they haven't changed for the better sadly!...........

[Bobbisox]

my daughter was saying tonight that stamps are going up to a silly price, I have a bus pass, I will take the bugger and hand it to them personally..LOL

[welshlibranr]

No Bobbi, use your bus pass as much as you can now!..............It'll probably be one of the next things to go!.......use it..............

[Bobbisox]

I may use it and abuse it welshy..lol
