Having said that, as long as they're serving me normal meat I don't really mind if it's a bit grubby, keeps my immune system ticking over :) * Adding links in here = nightmare! http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/archives/2005/09/drinksodden_arm.shtml#c1445 1445:113@http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/ Hmm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/3766637.stm * I don't see how allowing more people easier access to drink way on into the night will allow easier policing (as there will simply be more people out later, taking time over their drinks), but I sort of like the idea of kebab & burger vans being regulated.

Not really sure what to do on that score. Maybe I should have no HTML formatting allowed and URLs automatically turned into links, but that doesn't allow links with text other than the URL... And HC, thanks for stopping by! :) http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/archives/2005/09/drinksodden_arm.shtml#c1447 1447:113@http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/ Rob, I think you answered your own question to some extent, with the phrase "taking time over their drinks".
