A blanket ban at christmas won't happen for several reasons:
1.There are already a multitude of offences for alcohol consumption which are actively enforced. There aren't any for throwing eggs at houses.
2.It's easier to police alcohol consumption because it takes place in a relatively confined area, and those who are drunk can be found in one place. ie the pub. Kids intent on causing trouble are normally running around a housing estate. I don't know where you live but where I work the estates are rabbit warrens, and unless you have a team of about 6 officers it's impossible to catch people.
3.Money, a blanket ban on alcohol would cost a fortune, both in actually enforcing it and through the loss of VAT and other taxes. Requesting that shops ban the sale of eggs to under 18's for 2 days won't cost anything. And to actually see that a massive supermarket is willing to put people ahead of profit is a refreshing one.
offf ona tangent i believe you are....
im not on about the economics of selling alcohol, i was saying HYPOTHETICALLY if you told shops to not sell alcohol to sotp people drink driving, as from what youvve said before the ends justifies the means, there would be a public outcry at how our right to buy alcohol has disappered
Well that makes one of us.
It is responsible vendoring. Just as pub license holders are required to be responsible and not sell to very druink people.
It is not illegal to be drunk, though. Which is why your point is worthless.
Yeah.
Because most, if not all, kids will be doing something suspicious.
as i said, if they said to their staff "if someone looks like they buying eggs to commit a crime with them, dont serve them" that would be okay as you just compared with shops not selling to drunks...
and 2nd your getting old
It's a pain in the arse is what it is.
They are.
And, miserable and boring as I am, I hated it then too.
Kids should all just fuck off and die. It'd please me greatly.
Mind, if it wasn't for fucking kids, you wouldn't have a job!
In liverpool the freaky kids go mental,
even taxi drivers wont go out,
not work the hassle
the world is gone mad i tell ya.
