Since the budget today I haven't heard a squeak out of ASH or Alcohol Concern.
Not only is minimum pricing not coming in. But shock, horror. NO tax rises on fags and booze.
This may be the quiet before the storm. I expect a whining like the sound of a 1000 vuvulesas in the coming days.
On that note I'm off for a drink and a fag*
*If you are a citizen of the USA. In the Uk, a fag, is slang for a cigarette.
