Did The Budget........

[Jeza]

Increase the price of fags and booze. I know he knocked 1p of beer duty. Please don't say google it. I'm shattered, just need to know, as if so I will stock up before Asda raise the price.

Now off to pour my nightcap. With or without it I won't have trouble sleeping tonight. As I said earlier I'm whacked.

[tonyav]

Not to sure about booze, Jeza, but I know that he put the price of fags up as usual.

[Prudie]

I think booze went down Jeza (well beer anyway) but cigs went up 28p a packet. Don't know when though.

[royfromaus]

28p

[weecalf]

wine and fags I think .agreed a while ago fags would rise every year summit above inflation

[DTCwordfan]

Whisky duty was down....cigarettes, in my book, treble the duty.

[Psybbo]

DTC, you're off my Xmas list along with my son and daughter

[ummmm]

I think they should treble the duty on wine!!

[DTCwordfan]

Cancer tabs, no less.

[sherrardk]

I think they should quadruple the duty on stuff I don't like or use, seems fair to me.

[jno]

quite right, sherr, heavier taxes on those with more than one child, that'll do it.

Yes, fags up, beer down a penny a pint, though I wonder if anyone's found a pub passing the saving on to customers yet.

[Jeza]

Thanks all.

Whisky down. Is that all spirits or just whisky?

When the chancellor prices fags so that no one can afford them, where will the treasury get the money from to make up the short fall?

I rink you are thite, let's all glaze our thasses to the cenchalor, bliss hem.

[DTCwordfan]

just whisky - as a sop to the Salmond-ites.

[ummmm]

Lol Ron....I had to read that 3 times :-)

[Jeza]

That sounds about right DT.

So no need to stock up on Bacardi then, I'll just get plenty of fags ,and before all the anti smoking brigade chip in I will say we all have to die of something.

[DaisyNonna]

Was buying a bottle of Scotch yesterday and noticed the Offie had already increased the cigarette prices.

[DaisyNonna]

Rom, po noblren

[Jeza]

Daisy, your offie is taking the *** out of its customers. The rules state, price increases AFTER goods have left the bonded warehouse. We all know shops stock up before the budget.

[Jeza]

^^^^^ Pi$$

[Caran]

I don't think he mentioned wine or did I miss that. I hope he didn't.
OH rolls his own ciggies, we combine our holidays abroad to incorporate a visit to Adinkirke in Belgium to get his baccie. It costs a third of what you pay here.
We manage to get him a years supply between us.
