    Yes. I got in touch with a childhood school friend who emigrated there in the late '90s. She said that prohibition was initiated because of the country's hospitals' A & E departments filling up with GBH and drink driving related cases.

    Perhaps there's more to it than just the dessert and the freezer.

    But quite likely he gets off on having this much power over people's lives. Sad bastard.

    I bet the poor staff at The Cow and Calf would be more than willing to give it another go.

    Always a controversial one, and another old chestnut - personally I don't like unruly brats, but I don't have a problem with well-behaved children eating in dining room or garden area. I don't think the bar counter is a place for them though.
