Yawn.... Imagine anyone enjoying themselves...
Me and my friend recently joined an early morning Eurostar half first class (whatever its called) thing.... I only got the half first class because I get half price tickets.
I knew it would be totally crap so we went to Simpley food at St Pan for breakfast supplies, couple bottles of that pre-mixed 75cl Bucks Fizz, and 4 of the cans of pre mixed vodka orange things....
I would have been amazed had they tried to confiscate it! Who doesn't like a few bevvies on the train when they are going on their hols... and in the days when we used to get a decent amount of rub-a-dub and plenty of Tom Cruise as thanks for paying the premium, we wudnt have needed to stock up like this !!! Nanny state or what....
Sorry pal, don't want to tar you with any particular brush, but this country has an alcohol problem that needs sorting out. Eurostar get full marks from me for their approach. I'm as frustrated as you with the nanny state but I'm even more frustrated with the sort of people who make a prima facie case for it.
