    Default Beer Tax-o-Meter

    Quite a clever gimmick on the Princess of Wales (soon to revert to Prince of Wales), Merton, website asking for number of pints you consume and calculating the beer tax now, and proposed new tax, then inviting you to lobby your MP via a link to www.axethebeertax.co.uk

    Roger, sit down before you take the test...

    By the way, a PoW mini-fest is on 02-04July, and with the Traf so close those might be targets for some quarter final viewing...

    I probably average around 15 pints per-week. Apparently, my 'beer tax' would now be £8.56 under the new proposals.

    Mines about the same 15 Pints a week £856, You wait till the Gov Budget next week If Vat goes up too 22% like some want and they stick another 1p on a pint it would be over £1000 per year.

    We've had to move this from the front page of the site for the time being as it was throwing it out of skew, I believe it's still available on the axethetax website
