    Alcohol & Licensing Query

    Okay, Wales is also getting a 50p minimum unit price later this year... The current rules can be found here: www(dot)gov(dot)uk/government/publications/banning-the-sale-of-alcohol-below-the-cost-of-duty-plus-vat-march-2015

    Alcohol & Licensing Query

    The 50p/unit minimum price in Scotland is different to the cost of duty+vat minimum which applies to England and Wales; it is to prevent people getting shitfaced on cheap drinks. The England and Wales minimum only protects the taxman, he doesn't care about your liver...

    Is this Legal in the UK?

    I have not lived your life, nor you mine. I can only say my experience of receiving mail over the last two decades appears markedly different to yours.

    Do you want some time to read it again, Alan? Yes. Junk mail is a thing, and has been for more than 5 years. What I am saying is that the postman didn't have half a bag of letters and half a bag of shit to carry around (which will likely go straight into the blue bin via the letterbox) in...

    Before privatisation, the mail got delivered without having to rely upon hundreds of tonnes of junk mail just to keep it afloat.

    Is this Legal in the UK?

    If someone wants something, they ask. If they ask, it is not 'unsolicited'. Therefore not 'spam'. Maybe it was a mistake, privatising Royal Mail? To some, it is still an essential service. We have two paper rounds, both done by young males. And you are right, a personal visit is harder to throw...

    Alcohol & Licensing Query

    One last thought, if each customer is getting a printed or email receipt, it could detail the drink prices separately from 'pedal time' and you could show the LA that you are not charging below the legal minimum (cost of duty + vat). You could still promote a 'beer bike evening tour' with (idk...

    My comment was only semi-tongue in cheek, but... Okay, why not? Just 'unsolicited' marketing though. If someone wants a promo leaflet, i'd happily deliver it. Well, i'd happily pay the paper boy to deliver it ;)

    You're very welcome, I hope to give back to this forum as much as I take from it. I hope it works out for you and everybody pedals equally hard :)

    Can't we just ban all spam?

    Oh, and you may have to charge for the drinks, or the LA may see it as an 'irresponsible promotion'; might be a good idea to consult your local licensing committee.

    Alcohol & Licensing Query

    BIIAB defines 'premises' as - Any building, part of building or open space. - A moveable structure such as a beer tent, a parked vehicle such as a burger van or vessels such as river boats. 'Parked vehicle' is the important bit. A bicycle, according to the law, is a road vehicle. You would...

    Alcohol & Licensing Query

    I'm pretty sure that a vehicle with a premises license must be parked for the supply of alcohol to be allowed. I took and passed the personal license test recently, but that particular detail has been forgotten as it doesn't apply to me. I still have the books, brb
