The online advert said the 1p cut in beer duty and the halving of bingo duty to 10% would help "hardworking people do more of the things they enjoy".

Patronising ? - What's your view ?

[dustypuss]

Save 1p. So at £3.50 a pint that 350 pints of lager I will have to drink then I get one free. I think I will start tonight. :-)

you mean the chancellors well fed fren\z and other old Eton toffs would only be satisfied if they cut the tax on Eton Mess and Champagne ?

[heathfield]

Don't forget that VAT is added on top of duty, so the price reduction over the bar should total 1.2p. You'd only have to drink 291 (and a bit) pints to get one free!

[dustypuss]

And a bit ?
