I wonder where he got that statement from... not that I'm disputing the fact of the drunkenness, just the letters. The Celts have always been a boozy lot.

Since the smoking ban, English pubs are closing at the rate of five a day. I hate smoking, but I'd rather have a smoky pub than no pub at all, and the control freaks who implemented the ban are pure Confucian fools- they know not, and know not that they know not.
