Shouting Lager, Lager, Lager, Lager, Lager, Lager

Tennent's accounts for 55% of lager sold to Scottish pubs and clubs and around 30% sold to off-licences and supermarkets.

This made me wonder.... is price what drives drinking habits. Are half of the people drinking Tennent's in pubs just doing so because it is cheap, and spending 'more' for higher quality lager's to drink at home?

Depressing Times

I just read the Evening Times online (for free) and am now thoroughly depressed. The top few stories were:

• 1 in3 shops sell cigarettes to kids.
• Man convicted of raping a 14 year old in a park.
• Man faces jail for urinating on dying woman.
• Police hunt man for raping 9 year old girl.
• Charity forced to close in cash crisis.
• Hospital patients at risk due to broken lifts.
• Thai plane crash deaths rise.
• Northern Rock slides again.
• Gran tackles armed robbers at Tesco.

It's just so much bad news at the moment.....
