You're on a roll this morning Mrs. O hee hee.

Reading the Daily Mail is....interesting

It is a cunning plan worthy of Baldrick. We are hoping that all the Scottish alkies will move permanently to England. Problem solved.

[weecalf]

border controls what does that mean ? Is it just a more expensive and totally unworkable replacement for border patrols .

[jake-the-peg]

How far would you have to drive to make it worthwhile saving £4 on a bottle of Whiskey?

I guess the off-licenses in Berwick will be pleased though

Border patrols wouldn't work. The guards would clock in and then head straight for the nearest English off licence

Can you forsee the return of "new" distillerys - maybe in Easterhouse/Saughton, or in the multiplicity of housing estates - anything to make a wee bob or twa?
