Isn’t Bargain Booze a franchise?
Another victim of austerity, well done George
Maybe you should all start shopping there instead of buying your booze at supermarkets.
Maybe drink in a bar where you can socialise?.when I come over to a game and have a few pints, if you chat to the staff or someone next to you, people think you're a weirdo. .
Drinking at home with a few pints is abnormal to me.
You do get to chat to folk as you buy the booze via the till person there always a quick exchange of pleasantries and again when your thin plastic carrier bag splits, due to the weight of the special brew cans, and more conversation as the old lady by the bus stop offers her concerns, as the cans roll into the road and under the bus wheels.
I was amazed at how dead my local was during the week the last couple of times I came home.
It's probably because I'm on a month of sobriety.
From a book I am reading ..
"2,500 years ago, the Chinese sage, Confucius, observed that all governments follow a cycle: from unity, through prosperity to stagnation, then to collapse and anarchy.
He taught that when government officials sought personal power or wealth instead of taking care of the people, society lost the “Mandate of Heaven” and fell apart.
By “Mandate of Heaven,” Confucius meant that God Himself had directed how society should work. Chinese history shows 15 or 20 collapses when government lost virtue and the country broke apart in civil war, but whenever the Chinese followed Confucius’ rules, Chinese society worked well."
Where would you say we are?
In economics, Kondratiev waves (also called supercycles, great surges, long waves, K-waves or the long economic cycle) are hypothesized cycle-like phenomena in the modern world economy.
Didn’t do him much good because after this hypotheses was published old Prof K was sent to the Siberian gulags for spouting anti communist propaganda
The coming chaos will make The Walking Dead look like The Little House on the Prairie. People living in countries like the UK with weak social bonds and weak leaders will be driven out or killed by people from stronger cultures.
The Taiping Rebellion started when one man woke up thinking he was the younger brother of Jesus. That delusion resulted in the deaths of up to 30 million Chinese peasants.
Our chaos will start with something equally stupid.
"Bargain Booze" - the very name is a sad reflection of our society.
A friend of mine died of alcoholism the other day, A guy in his late thirties.
The ease with which people can get this powerful and addictive drug does nothing to help certain people.
The fewer shops like these, the better.
Sorry to hear about your mate.
Alcohol causes more health related problems than either drugs or tobacco and yet successive governments do little to curb its misuse.
I guess it comes back to the economics of it as a product and the amount of tax the government can screw out of consumers
Cars kill through pollution and accidents. Anybody up for a ban?
