Laura Hall can't drink in England/Wales
 

Laura Hall has become the first person to be banned from buying or drinking alcohol anywhere in England and Wales. :eek:

This is from the same country that's giving methadone to clean prisoners, before they're released.

Curiouser and curiouser. :smack:

Bruce, I'm afraid that common sense and consistency have long since departed this sceptred isle.

We can only stop and stare as we might had we seen a herd of Wildebeest amble down Aylesbury High Street.

I knew it was a Mail story by the tits.

Well, she is hot.

Right, The Sun had that picture, plus this one.

I guess they're doing a public service, by spreading her picture across the kingdom, so pub-keepers will keep an eye out for her.

But I still wonder if this ban is really legal?

yes it's legal.

mardi gras beads - they're everywhere you want to be!

In my state, the courts can legally order you to go on antabuse which has the same effect - probably more - as a ban from bars and liquor stores. Oh, and they supervise when you take it, so there's a better chance of compliance.

But those aren't the same woman, so we don't know who's Laura Hall.

I saw the first picture in three places, so I'd assume that's her.
Being 20 years old and attractive, I doubt if she'll have much trouble acquiring grog, she just won't be able to party hearty with the gang at the pub.

She looks good and all, but twenty?

Charming and classy young lady. Her parents must be so proud.

They're everywhere stupid women with no self-esteem or self-value who will sell a peek at their boobahs for some really cheap plastic beads want to be! :rolleyes:

The chick probably can't hold her smoke either

Haha!

I'm also reminded of an old SNL commercial parody. Gilda Radner talking about Harley's Bristol Cream...she's all sultry and sexy (you might remember the commercial for Harvey's Bristol Cream.) Cut to next day as she stumbles out of some apartment building, disheveled and in last night's sexy cocktail dress, hair all over the place, obviously unsure where she even is. The Walk of Shame. :p:

John Humphrys is one of the presenters of BBC Radio 4's 'Today'.
He is a seasoned interviewer who regularly has a bit of a dust up with politicians of every stripe and hue just after the 8am news.
However, on occasions they let him out of the building to report on various topics. Last week he filed a substantial report on binge drinking in UK town centres and it forms the basis of this article in the Daily Telegraph. It provides some context for the Laura Hall case.

It’s Saturday night, and Britain reaches for the bottle. John Humphrys reports.........

I have common sense. And I'm pretty sure the other Brit posters here have consistency (I can't claim that one for myself with my hand on my heart).

Still, if you really believe the country is that far gone you can always emigrate. I mean I'd hate for you to have a place in the handbasket with the rest of us heading for hell :p:

Every generation believes the country is getting worse and that we're going to hell in a handbasket. Yea, even unto the Middle Ages. Right down to the complaints about feral youth and drunken yobs.

Does the British government understand that they're making it harder and harder for guys like me to find girls like her in a bar?

yeah ....but much easier to find in a park.

Just look under the bench........:rolleyes:

Sigh, you'll just have to make do with me then :blush:

Never allow yourself to be second best.

You are much hotter and better than that.:D

Taxi to Savannah please!
