but from the shops, stuff stronger than 4.8% you can only buy 9-6 during the week and 10-2 at the weekends. (Might be 10-3 at some branches.) That's from the store they call the Wine Monopoly, which as its name suggests, has a monopoly on wine, along with everything else stronger than 4.8%. Stuff weaker than 4.8% you can sell as late as 8pm during the week and 6pm at weekends! Fancy that!

Buying drink before 2pm is not good for me, I'm unable to have drink in the house without quaffing til I drop.

I feel I should be grateful that my parents moved me away from the Wirral when I was a year old, and I'm told that's *posh* scouse.
