From way back when I worked in a shop that seems right. Lots of folk bought the giant 3 litres of Barnstormer/White cider. Often several bottles a day.

I imagine aldi is a cheaper option, so good on them

We've solved this in Scotland by saying you cannot buy alcohol before 10am. That's why we have no alcoholics anymore

I used to work in a Glasgow pub that had queues outside the door at 11am, every weekday.

You'd be surprised how few alcoholics are early risers. I mean even if they were they can go to the pub at 6am, just not buy a carry out till 10, then they only have 12 hours to buy as you can't buy after 10pm.

I'm sat next to a tree with a ratty looking magpie in it cleaning itself. It looks like it's been bullied the way it has baldy spots on it.

I'm also watching a heron sat by a pond trying to get some eats. It keeps looking like it spots something and is getting ready to dive after it.

Nor buy booze in a bar or club after 3am. I had to register at a casino last time I was up there, they really don't want night workers to have a drink after their shift.

It's the festival now though so you can drink pretty much whenever now, woop woop, cultured people cannot drink too much clearly.

Nesting season is over so Magpies don't need to keep up appearances atm. Plus he probably started on a buzzard or something.
