Are they low income or on the dole?
Because if they’re on the dole they shouldn’t be buying booze.

Do they think the Scots people don't know how to make moonshine and homebrew beer? Their American cousins have been doing it for centuries throughout Appalachia.

Homebrewing is a great way to protest alcohol taxes.

Ha ha ha. Scottish prohibition. Good luck with that. In other news, job prospects for Irish smugglers take an unexpected turn for the better.

I’m just going to sit back (with a cold one) and watch how this all turns out!

14 pounds for a bottle is about $18.50. Really, no one should be drinking Scotch cheaper than that.
Sounds like an issue of national pride to me.

Do you get these ideas from Free Republic ?
