said on another post on here no booze allowed to be bought today is that correct??

I went out and bought a case last night!!

The supermarkets have closed off the booze sections today but most of the corner shops will probably be selling after the poles close, and I suspect most of the hotels and tourist cafes etc will be selling, even if they are being a bit discreet.

We will be barbecue-ing on the balcony and watching the results come in.

Trouble is I have to work in the morning

bryn

yes but how do the law makers enforce thing if not by a blanket ban??

But like I said the tourist places are probably still serving.

Mehmet did make Jon Henley's column in the Guardian today. Unfortunately he is an independent MP so is unlikely to appear on the Today programme very often.
