Cloud Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Why do I get the feeling this will hurt the independent licencees far more than it will hurt the chains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 From what i heard on weekends, "happy hours" have to be at least 48 hours long as to put off pubs from having them... Happy Weekends sound quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Fat Porn Star Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 People will just buy cheap booze from the 'offie' so it's not going to make one pick of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 "If approved, it would make happy hours illegal and would allow local boards to refuse a licence if an area was already flooded with pubs and clubs."Weren't they supposed to be doing this in Aberdeen with the minimum drinks price not two months ago? i've got a funny feeling this won't go through either.

iain44s Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 this happened in glasgow ages ago (the ban on happy hours)...cheap pubs stayed cheap and expensive ones stayed expensive. Not that much difference really i dont think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 apparently pubs aren't allowed to put up posters or give out flyers with drinks offers on them, but that hasn't stopped pretty much every pub on Belmont Street displaying 'make it a double for 1 more' posters everywhere.Does anywhere have happy hours anymore? I suppose we could kiss good bye to spinning the wheel at Flying Circus if it goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Pubs are allowed to promote drinks prices, but clubs aren't - if that isn't an example of stupid local legislation, what is? :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
