When I briefly worked in the alcohol industry I made a graph mapping the decline of sherry sales with the death rate.
Sunak will not care because he don't even drink alcohol, you might remember the clip of him and Boris pulling a pint of beer each at a brewery, and fair play to him, he just left his pint on the bar. I've no problem with supermarket prices increasing, but if it's done for pubs and bars, then we will just see more closing. Our culture is gradually disappearing in this country, thankfully micropubs appeared which seem to be preferred by older drinkers and buy real ale from local suppliers. Much like we will become a smoke free country eventually, seems the death knell for anyone that dares drink or smoke.
Really? What's Professor Skea's username? Funny how quickly the IPCC and UN Climate Chief can fall out of favour with the uneducated and ill informed bigots.
Is it down to the alcohol content, such as piss water for lefties is cheap, but the decent stiff costs more?
