Heard a report from a mate of a binge drinking session perpetrated by a bunch of young 20-something ladies of good stock which puts the opening hours farce into some perspective. They met at someone’s house, drank absurd amounts of vodka until they were “drunk enough” and then headed off to a tacky 80′s theme bar. These binge drinkers, they’re rat-arsed before they go out. How long the pubs and bars are open is not going to lessen their drunkeness one iota because they’re already legless when they leave the house. Deal with that, if you can, and stop faffing about grown up opening hours.

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

Ah, but rather than kicking them out of the pub at 11pm, when they are pissed and “in their stride”, they will be allowed to stay inside until they poison their livers and have to be taken out in an ambulance, directly to the morgue. Hey presto, that’s one less binge drinking session per week.
Our culture needs to change, not existing laws.
