Life just gets worse in the pub trade, the new Licensing Scotland Act came into force on 1st October so now we have to ask for proof of age / identity of anyone who appears to be under 25, and they must carry ID. Next party piece is that the Licensing Officers will be sending customers in who look Under 25 and if they are not Challenged then the bar staff are likely to be charged by the Police.
Smoking takes another hit as we have to be registered to sell tobacco, or even have cigarette machines on the premises.
My new Pubwatch, now incorporating the Tranent and Musselburgh, was put to test today, one of my customers is on the list with a five year ban, so he was non too pleased to be caught out and then put out.
Pleased to see the article in today's Scottish Daily Express about a possible debate on the UK's membership of the EU - a bunch of interfering politicians who make Robin Hood and his Merry men look like angels. AND - apart from trying to straighten bananas, cucumbers, bring in EU Regs to replicate existing identical UK Regs - latest is to do away with Greenwich Man Time and bring in the atomic clock - what utter piffle. LET US OUT / GET US OUT.
Better news for Heart of Midlothian fans after they managed to score two goals against a very lacklustre Celtic yesterday - what did I say last week - big wages do not guarantee good players - look for a heart.
SHOP EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS - not presents, but basic essentials and shop around, as TESCO failed yet another shopping test. Next, if the weather forecasters are correct, snow boots, shovels, snow tyres for the car, and I see BEAR have bought an ice breaker from Scandinavia to keep the M8 motorway in the event of repeat conditions like last year.
With Subo ( Susan Boyle) selling her new album at great speed, the BBC have got it correct by having her sing on the new Strictly Come Dancing show - which is getting better ratings than the X-Factor (now 2nd rate entertainment).
