I see the Puritanical Society for the Prevention of Turning a Blind Eye are out in force again ;)
It’s not me that would need to turn a blind eye, but the police. And they won’t.
Do you really think that message boards aren’t looked at? The OP was wanting someone to say that they were running a coach where alcohol could be consumed.
If you want to get yourself arrested then go ahead.
I remember only a few years ago, the police got wind of a coach that travelled regularly to away games and allowed booze. They stopped it before it reached the M6, took all the booze, and wouldn’t let iy go any further. If somebody can’t wait a couple of hours before their next pint, maybe coach travel isn’t for them.
Dawn raids across all Wigan Coach Companies imminent.I think you’ll find that the Supporters Club and Arky, to name but two, would take offence that you imply they break the law.
:silly:
Sometimes I come on here and it’s so detached from the original Cockney Latic I have to give my head a serious wobble.
maybe a new site name required gestapolatic has a ring (allegedly)
You can have a drink on a plane, can’t you?
I expect the team will fly. We could charter a plane too!
Then you know what to do
One of the objects of a board like this is to inform. We don’t make the law, but it would be very irresponsible of us to condone acts that are illegal. Whether we agree with the law or not.
And in answer to me saying “you know what to do”. The answer is post something that’s interesting.
