It is a dying trade though as youngsters are not engaged in pub culture although ironically they enjoy the jobs it provides ??

The 10% above inflation tax rise for cider came into force at the end of last month after being announced by Labours Chancellor Alistair Darling. repealed by Tories ,results in a thriving industry well done George Magners Osborne
( burph )

Two of the best chancellors in recent times though , Darling and Osborne both Tories though
Can anyone help?

I tried Google translate but all I got was :

'Don't nationalise - subsidise with taxes. Sell fish in Bargain Booze to save the pubs. Youngsters like jobs - but that is ironic. The 2010 Labour Chancellor raised taxes for cider last month.'

Is this all from the next Tory manifesto?
