Now who would trust a man whose eyebrows clash with his hair?!:spitfire
IMO a 55p rise on bottles of spirit is criminal - is it going to have a significant impact on the sale of Whisky? Well, not in Oonyackistan, but possibly elsewhere. Scandalous considering the chancellor and the pm are fecking Scots!!:spitfire

I'm fecking sick of these dozy arse MPs who are completely out of touch and deluded.:mcgun

It's definately looking like time for alternative drink solutions.

Sorry - there's another sort of MP?? :nenau

As I've said before, this will do NOTHING to tackle the made-up sin of 'binge drinking', but will raise a great deal of money for the Chancellor to piss up the wall on his own government's idiot schemes.

Ali and his grasping, clawing little buddies have taken to heart the tax objective suggested by the French 17th century statesman Jean-Baptiste Colbert, "to extract from the goose the maximum of feathers with the minimum of hissing."

Thing is, Ali boy, the hissing's getting louder...:spitfire

55p is for a 'standard' 40% ABV bottle of spirits. It's up to 70p for something at natural / cask strength.

I'm afraid that it was almost inevitable after so many years of no duty increases. The Govt is well aware that the whisky industry is booming. This (and the promised increases for the next four years...) is effectively a windfall tax! :mmmm It is just opportunistic to dress it up as some kind of anti-binge drinking nonsense.

This lot are starting to show their true colours now.

All hail the state

Don't vote for any of the dozy fu ck er s then- I never do and won't until there is one worth getting my vote.

Bunch of crooked, stupid, arrogant gits.

I agree, but I always turn out to vote, get the ballot paper and then write on it 'None of the listed candidates are suitable'

I do this because I don't want the feckers thinking that we all can't be arsed to turn out, if more people spoiled their papers I think the politicos would realise there was more dissent out there.

The sad thing is the ar se holes don't care what we think and don't pay attention to what we really want.

For a start we'd have hanging back for child molesters,rapists and murderers if they did.

( and a queue of people willing to pull the handle)

That's why the scum all sing the same tune -there is no difference between any of them.
 
by not voting, you're letting them away with it:blast
have a protest vote if you cant agree with any of them, but if you dont vote you cant really complain:nenau
 
Eh, well, you don't really NEED a still.

You can freeze it, crush the ice and carefully measure the volumes when it starts to melt...no give away smell that way.

Allegedly.
 
I dont understand why they are giving money away to pensioners and parents, many of who are very wealthy when the country is in debt:nenau

I would want to get back in the Black - but then maybe, my mates are not making a good killing on the interest:augie
 
Woss all the whining about?

55p on a bottle? Or even 70p a bottle? or even a pound a bottle? It will only make a serious dent in yer pocket if you're on a couple of bottles a day, and you're on minimum wage.

Those moaning twats that carry on about the price of cigs get right on my chest hairs too! Got kids? and yer can afford a fiver a DAY FFS to kill yerself? Equally feckin' dumb!

This is nothing to do with binge drinking, and neither will it diminish the Scottish distillery business/export market that the whining scots MSP's make such a din about on the wireless, drinkers will always find the cash for a bevvy, just as smokers will smoke rather than eat. This raise in duty has always been the staple fallback of chancellors of all parties.

I remember when my old man said he's give up fags if they ever went to 10 shillings a packet, and beer up to five bob a pint. :rob :rob :rob

I feel better now.

Distill as it was done 200 years ago
Our distilling packages have been very successful. The only hotel in the world where you can make your own spirit using 200 year old methods. We have had people from Scotland, England, Florida, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, and Holland taking part with bookings still pouring in. The package includes dinner, bed & breakfast, brewing, fermenting,distilling, casking and then you take 5 litres of your new make spirit home to mature in your own home. The spirit has a very light feel to it as you would expect from such a small still. Light and fruity and very drinkable right away just as it was in all those years gone by.
