Darling’s blunder
Sir, - I HAVE just read a new version of Lewis Carroll's Alis(tair) in Blunderland.
It is a lot more serious than the original and is now called The Budget.
Not a lot of 12 to 17-year-olds (the so-called binge drinking ages) drink pints of beer in pubs, but it has gone up by 4p per pint (Obviously hasn't been out since the end of WWII !!*).
Neither do you see many of this age group staggering about clutching bottles of whisky or wine, but taxes on these have both been raised by more than the laughable 3p per litre on cider, which is one of this age group's favourite tipples.
The young bingers, sorry, drunks, must be raising their bottles and saying "Thank you, Darling".
To help control pollution, the Chancellor has murdered the large car brigade (4x4, etc), but still intends to open new runways at Heathrow and Stansted**.
We run a 4x4 because it is easier at our ages to get in and out of and also gives us a safer feeling by riding higher.
