You're dealing with a policy, and one that has been thought through. It might not make sense to those of us affected, but it does make sense to those making it.<br /><br />I'm no apologist but we have tried whining before and it didn't work then either.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402958176140459186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-30148970817993782382010-03-25T13:58:58.902+00:002010-03-25T13:58:58.902+00:00Thank you for using the much under utilised word c...Thank you for using the much under utilised word cunt Pete, it is my favourite.

No one seriously expected anything different, did they?<br /><br />And every government will continue to screw alcohol for all its worth, backing off only as revenues peak and bootlegging takes over. The whole industry knows this but everyone has to wheel out the usual shocked responses. But I can't think of a better tactic either.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402958176140459186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-20860651243390742512010-03-25T10:37:11.318+00:002010-03-25T10:37:11.318+00:00It's worse than you think.
