Right.......

I know most clubs are now open till stupid O'Clock......Rock on!

But the news doesn't feature about supermarkets!

So if i was to whirl into ASDA/Tesco's/Morrisons/Safeway

at 4am, would they be able to sell me booze? Yes or no?

 

Yeah I think so mate!!

The local Total garage buy me is 24 hours and have taken down there "cannot sell beer before 11am" signs.

 

 

The tesco nr me had some in there and it wasnt closed off at 3 on Friday night

 

It's all good news!

 

Most of the 24hr licences have been given to supermarkets

 

yeah,only if they have applied for a license and got it tho! its not jus"its 24 hrs now so everyone can stay open!" you have to apply for 24 hrs license and be granted it to sell 24 hrs,most have gone to supermarkets

 

I believe 70% of licences were issued to supermarkets....

 

nice one

 

wonder why the press never highlighted that point when they was slaging off the pubs for having a 24hour licence that will cause liver problems


surly anyone with a drink issue would be getting it from a supermarket with there discounted prices rather than drinking in a bar

 

plus,they could buy it in bulk up until 11pm before now anyway,not a problem,doesnt mean they can buy anymore,just at different times! i think that people need to learn what "binge drinking" actually means! its not drinking every night till early hours getting pissed,that would be alcoholism,to binge on something is when you DONT do it very often,then when you do,you do it heavily! so god knows how you would stop someone doing that! i think its called most of us not drinking in the week when we are working then using our bloody own god given freedom (as supplied by many men far better than tony blair in ww1 and 2) to decide that we wish to let our hair down on a weekend!

 

you wont stop binge drinking unless you make it against the law to drink, but then ive been taking charlie shince i was 16 so thats never helped either

maybe we need less rules and moe time workign woth people to see what can be done about it rather than the "no, you cant and if you do im gonna make you poor" attitude that there is


hell were famous for our drinking, just cause the people in the states dont understand our drinking culture dont mean we should stop it

 

where have you been taking him? bloody long journey isnt it?

 

Basically mate, about 1000 establishments in the Uk have a 24hr licence, I think 750 are supermarkets etc, 250 odd are Bars/Pubs/Clubs, 75 of which are in Bournemouth!

I for one can't fookin wait!

 

Funny you should ask was winding my merry way round ASDA last night for nearly 2 hours and when i got to the check out @ 11.30pm, all my alcholic beverages were confiscated ASDA havn't got thier licence thru

Aslong as the supermarket has got the appropriate licence, then yeeees they can serve

 

Roll on the journeys home when your sobering up LOL

 

Jon - So ASDA haven't got a licence then...that's wierd

Best bet is to ask next time i'm shopping i reckon...

 

Asda will have a licence, its just that they are now being dealt with through your local council, rather than the magistrates. And as per usual they havent got a fooking clue. They are so far behind its untrue.

We had a neighbour get a petition up against our application and when we went to court our barrister had to tell the council panel the order of procedings

I think the press have just jumped on the bandwagon, and as mentioned earlier the public seem to think that your local village pub is going to be 24hours you apply for what you want, we went for 10am 12pm everyday. I very much doubt that we will use them ours everyday. Also everyone gets an extra hour ontop of that for 27 days a year, stuff like saints days etc.

 

You working in a Supermarket/Pub then Phil?

 

Thats only two hours aint it

Think you need 12 am

Might be wrong lol, wouldnt be the first time


Steve

 

smit, pub mate.

rapid 1: sure you know what i mean. wish it was only 2 hours

 

i bet the dial a crate AFTER HOURS companys aint happy

ROBBING BASTARDS ANYWAY

 

Was well weird drinking in weatherspoons after Chelsea bridge cruise last night They was even serving food

So every gets pissed gets a munch on and can order food. This country is going to turn into a load of fat alcoholics

 

200,000 'late licences' were issued.

750 are 24hr licences and out of the 750 there are 7 pubs that can serve 24hrs.

The rest are supermarkets.

 

Anywhere there is a list of supermarkets?

 

bugger anyone know which and where they are

 

the arguments and its supermarkets and garages that will be serving beer

sorry but thats worse imo
