Er, no. The world is a bit bigger than that. In fact, most people abroad don't live in any of those countries.Originally posted by sasguru View PostHow did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

"Call for pre-9pm ban on alcohol TV ads"
Link.
A committee of MPs has called for a ban on alcohol advertising before 9pm on television, on billboards or posters near schools and on social networking websites.
The report called for alcohol advertising to be banned in films under an 18 rating and said that billboards and posters promoting alcohol should not be allowed within 100m of any school.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Yeah, let's pretend that alcohol doesn't exist.Originally posted by RichardCranium View Post
Then the problem will go away.
Law of unintended consequences :
Does that mean that doing the afternoon/early evening shop, they will have to barricade the booze aisles, until 9pm. How convenient. Oh how I shall laugh.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They'll be after banning the displays of alcohol products.Originally posted by Board Game Geek View Post
They've already tried it with cigs. Alcohol next?
Did this become law or not?From October 2011 large shops will have had to remove all tobacco displays from the point of sale and smaller businesses will have to comply by 2013.
Gosh! Surely not!There were also concerns that the ban will increase smuggling of tobacco.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
