But if people act like assholes, damage my property, keep me awake at night and cost me extra in tax then I'm afraid it's best to curtail their nocturnal activities for the general good. Why on earth people need to stay up until gone 2am in the morning falling around in the street is beyond me. (Ayia Napa excepted of course)
we had this debate elsewhere. All that will happen is that people will drink the same amount but finish earlier, or the carry out trade will grow. Look at what used to be the 6 o'clock swill down in Australia. In the north east of England the bother was at about 1100, because of 1030 time gentleman please.
I just wonder ,,how will it affect the tourist trade?
I cannot see tourists bing impressed with bars shutting at 22.00. Even those who are not party animals or drunk Brit youths.
