LET'S RECLAIM OUR TOWN CENTRES.

25.12.07, 2:48pm

The more expensive the better. We hope to reclaim the streets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The trouble is that there are a lot of gullibles around who think that getting plastered is cool and the streets in city centres are like war zones. Last time I used the public buses, I was forced to acquaint myself with the state of our city centres and the buses were diverted because of these revellers.

NEW LAWS ANNOUNCED NEXT YEAR

24.12.07, 10:25am

It is expected that Citizen Brown, leader of the Brown, Bodger & Co (UK) plc - are to announce the introduction of new laws early in the new year --- to prevent drinkers from operating private stills in their own back gardens.

In the meantime, to prevent unathorised operation of presently operated stills, they will be required to be insured for some half million pounds, in case they are tripped over by passers by. Especially in Council owned allotments.

The eu are still to rule on whether or not it is legal to call the alcohol "moonshine" as the alcohol is not neccessarily brewed in the moonlight.

Yes, i know its farcical -- but is it me or Brown's lot??

BUSINESSES ARE ALREADY REELING WITH LACK OF CUSTOMERS

24.12.07, 10:17am

They won't have any customers at 4 quid a pint...there's only so much " taking the harry Bliss" that customers will accept....even the British.
Businesses are already reeling through lack of customers.

It seems our viability as a nation is being systematically taken apart....We work in a £5 an hour economy with £20 an hour overheads....We won't be able to walk outside with out paying something to somebody....we'll just grind to a halt...
