            I can remember pubs like that and when one person got chucked out the bar, they immediately tried to buy something from their off-licence.

                      As an almost 100% homebrewer, I can no longer see a purpose for off-licences.

                      Their main use was being open of an afternoon when the pubs were closed, and they were cheaper than off-licences attached to pubs.

                      With the extension of pub (and supermarket) opening hours, and cheap supermarket booze, I'm surprised they're still in existence.

                      I can produce a decent red (Blackberry) wine for 30p a bottle.
