It's not really when you consider that they have they're own licensing laws for the sale of alcohol.

This means, of course, that your entire argument is invalid.

Sorry, Fark rules. I don't make them.

they didn't order him to abstain from getting or being drunk.

he can still get booze from a shop, take it home and drink to his satisfaction unless he acts like an ass outside of his property.

/drunk. in. pub-lick!

I remember the same thing happening to some other bloke awhile back. Cannot remember his name, but he looked like a chav

Drunk?

drjekel_mrhyde: Drunk?

I hope not, I'm out the door to work as soon as I've finished my coffee.

Uh, those are the only people that make asshats out of themselves while drinking as a citizen of the UK. Even the alcoholics are genial and mostly harmless over there.

I'm in a flame mood.

So I'll just make some vague, nonsensical comment in regards to dental hygiene ,since lots of other countries have them beat in terms of alcohol consumption and goofy laws pertaining to consumption.

Nevermind that, he just needs to go 100 yards offshore and get drunk there.

Britain = island.

Gyrfalcon: Nevermind that, he just needs to go 100 yards offshore and get drunk there.

I believe, for jurisdictional purposes, it's either 2, 5 or 15 miles offshore.

/Not that I would know anything about anything like that

"On one occasion he was seen urinating on shop windows..."

Going by the name David Peers, I would be forlorn to hear that the magistrate missed the opportunity to quip upon this fortuitous coincidence.

Apprently subby is drunk too.

occasionally they'll set up a check point but they only pull over those who were speeding. (not that they have a conscience- hubby was given a ticket for 45 in a 30 when he was doing maybe 33. We were advised fighting it would likely result in higher fines and more points.

It may not matter if you are US citizen but if you have a UK license if you get caught speeding by a camera 4 times in under 4 years you'll lose your license. ( and only two times if you've only had your license for less than 2 years).

Have you ever lived in London? I see at least one check point everyday when I'm out driving. They pull you up no matter if you are speeding or not. When you get pulled over they tell you that it's for a safety vehicle check.. One question they ask is 'where are you coming from and where are you headed?'. What that has to do with the safety of my car, I don't know.

Back to the thread. You can get a fine of around £80 for being drunk in a public place.

/Surprised that no one has kicked the living shiat out of him for being such an arse.

seriously, just drink at home. it's safer and more economical! i never understood how barflies can afford to drink out all the time - that adds up!

Excen: Even the alcoholics are genial and mostly harmless over there.

Did you only drink in village pubs? Even Cambridge, with it's upper-class small town vibe is choc full of idiot drinkers at the weekends.

Oh, and seeing as we're here, I'll half heartedly take offence at the boiled food and dental hygene, then point at the US and mumble something about fat people and McDonalds in an entirely non-committal way.

I live in London and I NEVER see check points. In 12 years I've seen two, both on York Way in King's Cross, both in the last year and both checking taxis. Where do you see checkpoints every day?!

I was born in the UK and lived there for 35 years - never once did I boil my meat; beat it yes, boiled it no.

LOOK OUT 2016!!!

Either your lucky or I've got bad luck!

When I said everyday, I meant when I drive. Try going down to Wandsworth roundabout just off Trinity Road (just below the flyover). The coppers are there almost every other night (not always at the same time.)
I've seen them stopping random cars around 8pm, sometimes as late as 2-3am.

Other check points.. Vauxhall bridge, Nine elms lane in Battersea, Brixton hill/Streatham hill borders, Merantum way in Colliers wood (coppers are usually there in the mornings) or Morden road.

So many more but can't sit here and list every one..



What's funny is that I tend to see most check points in south London especially around Clapham Common.
