Once I have been taxed out of existence and can no longer pay for basic household bills (feels like it's here already), then if I buy my daughter a treat, they can say "if you have no money, how can you afford that mars bar you bought two days ago?"<BR/><BR/>Hmmm.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-83548811701916222582007-10-17T08:52:00.000+01:002007-10-17T08:52:00.000+01:00http://burningourmoney.blogspot.com/2007/10/synthe...http://burningourmoney.blogspot.com/2007/10/synthetic-booze-busters.html<BR/><BR/>interesting thought - you don't think the figures could have been made up do you?

And even if asked, in this current climate, who indeed would admit to drinking too much at home? Bin your store 'loyality' cards - mine was shredded when money off coupons were targeted at items regularly purchased. Supermarkets as we know, are in bed with HMG - are they sharing the information about alcohol purchases from individuals?
