Strewth, stuff the young'uns if they're to thick to drink proper. I can only afford to go out to drink once a week, and that is during Happy hour. What about us poor blokes, this aint fair because of some selfish kids. Why do the rest of us have to pay for them being stupid? The Feathers is always busy during happy hour, and it's the only time in the week i can afford a drink with Jerry, so i can get away from Mildred and, nag, nag, nag.

And anothe thing, if these bloody young drunken thugs can't get cheap beer in pubs, they'll just go down the Tesco or whatever and get some cans of beer. It's cheaper than the pub anyway. Sodding Labour Party, always coming out with ideas to ruin our lives.

I remember getting buzzed by 6pm one time while visiting London. Totally loved it, but the entire night was a write off. What they need to do is make all apetizers half price from 5-6pm and then call it 'Appy Hour'.

No need to ban the happy hour for the geezers. Just limit the number of drinks to two or three.

Oh yes the ending of happy hour would be a godsend to myself. My father goes th happy hour and gets stone drunk in an hour, coming home knocking things over, swearing and being vulgur. Sophisticats such as myself, drink to enjoy the taste and the atmsophere,. Surely this should be promoted rather than cheap booze. Gawd, stop happy hour soon, my bleedin' old man is driving me round the twist.

And in other news, great British pastimes such as breaking wind are to be banned, with the intoduction of "Sex Cameras" to be installed in every British bedroom to enforce the new Sex Tax, as Gordon Brown introduced plans for another 60,000 fixed speed cameras.

It's a brave new world...

The whole country is circling the drain. Like this is really going to make a difference. Ban smoking. Arrest the parents of overweight kids. Ban the display of the flag. Ban something as innocuous as American-style 'Happy Hour'; how freaking pathetic is England.

"The whole country is circling the drain."

Hmm, I'd have said it gurgled down it a long time ago...

sounds like a good idea to me. In Kashiwa city you can visit a family restaurant chain called BLDY that on it's menu has what they call a 'fruity bar' which is SELF-SERVICE all-you-can-drink wine and cocktails, literally mix them from the optics yourself, for 900 yen. there is also no time limit on the fruity bar so you can sit there from 5pm to 12am and drink nonstop for the equivalent of a pint of beer in many London pubs.I kid you not. if there were nomihodai in the UK (and many other countries I daresay ) the streets would be awash in blood and vomit.

apologies, I meant to say the fruity bar is 600 yen not 900 yen, hahaha even crazier

In a couple more years when all Britain is under sharia law they won't have to worry about it.
