I’ve just heard that there is to be a ban on alcohol being sold to under 21’s in Scotland’s capital city, Armadale. (It’s also my home town :))
The organisers stressed that Armadale “had not been chosen because its alcohol-related problems were particularly bad“. (Must have just been a fortunate coincidence).
In unrelated news, Buckfast Abbey have announced the redundancy of fourteen staff and early retirement for all monks over 75…
Note with interest that if you follow your link to Buckfast Abbey on wikipedia they proffer:
“Buckfast has achieved a surprising level of popularity within working class and bohemian communities in certain parts of Scotland”
“Bohemian”…Airdrie….Armadale….Shotts et al. Not the word I would have chosen!
