    Coalition not banning "Buying a Round"

    Government ministers today insisted" Buying a round" will not be outlawed along with "Putting Twenty Quid in the Pot" in their continuing programme of rolling back the cultural Marxoid collectivism in Society.

    "We disapprove of the practice of 'My turn. What's yours?' but it's a bridge too far to ban it." cliched the ginger haired one with glasses.

    The old bald one insisted "'We are not right wing nutters, but all hard working Daily Mail readers will concur that the Pot scheme supports scroungers who drink two Guinnesses and a Scotch while decent honest citizens partake of only one Gin & Tonic, often forgoing a slice of lemon in these cash strapped times."

    The ginger one carried on. "There will be a scheme run by Big Society volunteers, who will hand out £5 vouchers towards 'Buying a Round' for deserving cases, such as elderly widows who have given money to their local Liberal Club since May 2010."

    It was pointed out by the tubby one with a fag on that the Government promotion of 'Going Dutch' will not lead to Cannabis being legalised as the geeky one on the opposition benches alleges.

    I wouldn't be too sure, burning dog. The last time the Liberals were in charge, during WW1, they introduced a number of measures to curb drinking. These included banning "treating" (ie buying rounds), severely restricting opening hours, nationalising public houses, reducing the amount of beer brewed, and its strength ("munition ale"), and increasing the excise duty.

    What a shower!

      True, but they did instigate some sensible state interventions as well. To be fair the tubby one comes from the other lot.

        Surely this is what the 'High-Speed Rail Links' is all about....you will be able to zoom up above Watford and back; where a round is considerably cheaper, and still be home in time for lights out....

          You'd have to go as far as Manchester to get designer lager though. Could explain the propsed Chelsea Hackney tube route as well.
