Making the world safe for gnat's piss

Because it worked so well the first time
Staggering from ludicrous beer duties meant to make beer drinkers more "responsible", brewers in Britain are reacting by reducing the alcohol content of their product.  The BBC sums up the strategy thus:
It's a small change that brewers are hoping customers won't notice.
Not noticing is marked by the public bar being drenched in the discharge of outraged spit takes.

    Time to put the Man Shed to good use. I learned a lot on my Chemistry course... But bringing back Grotneys must be a crime, almost on a par with watering down the beer. But this government is going too far... Time to put the hempen rope and piano wire on order.
    TTFN :)
