I don't quite grasp the thinking behind this one at all.
I can't see the local drinkers in any town taking this one seriously.
Any one else think that this one is just down right silly?

They'll probably just drink it.

lol

What about when someone says

"Oi..you just blew bubbles at me" and it all kicks off

[tigerlily11]

Or some nicks some one elses bubble pen.

Or when they pour it on someones kebab for a 'laugh'?

Handing out 'bubble blowers', handing out 'flip flops', where is it all going to end?

Perhaps like they did regarding smoking, ban the sale of alcohol in pubs and leave the diners on their own.

But then isn't eating the next in line for corrective measures, we could then see an end to the 'British Pub'.

eee gosh, you have to wonder who comes up with these ideas!!

I can just picture the scene now.....two big Grant Mitchell types fighting over who blows the bigger bubbles.

Waste of money if you ask me.

[smudge]

Yes, a total waste of money - our money! ;o{

Well, they're brave is all I can say!!!

Personally, if they start giving out comfy shoes and blankets and a nice mug of tea in a free taxi home then I might start going out more on a Saturday night :)

Who's going to clean up the mess from the bubble splats on the pavement?

As silly as giving pub goers lollipops?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1102603.stm

Police in Devon have unveiled a new weapon in their fight to reduce late night rowdiness - free lollipops.
...
Pc Paul Dawe, who was inspired by a similar scheme in Canada, said the idea has been successful in reducing late night din in the town's streets.
...

It is not the first time that sweet-toothed drinkers have been targeted.

The University of London student union began giving out lollipops a year ago to cut the noise from students leaving the bar.

The scheme was hailed a success and the union said complaints had fallen sharply since the sweets were handed out.
