24hr drinking.

Agree/Disagree?

Theres only three pubs in swindon applied for it. It doesn't bother me tbh. I think it'll reduce violence in town centre's, and won't encourage binge drinking. It will be good for shift workers because on their way home if they need some beer from thesupermarket, after a nightmare shift, they can get some.

I'm all in favour!

what are the 3 pubs?

[mattboyslim]

Good idea, it's not as though it'll be everywhere and sometimes it's nice to stay in the pub a bit later, often by about 10.30 you feel like they are closing up.  I think it'll be mostly hotels who can stay open and serve residents so will apply for the licence to serve the public too.

Bollocks - it won't reduce binge drinking - all that will happen is that more quantity will be drunk, the pubs make more money, the breweries make money and the government makes more money via taxes on alcohol.

It's all about money and nothing to do with tackling the problem

I heard a rumour that the swiss chalet had one, not too sure about the others. I know that Chavbah in town has an extended license.

I am too old for getting hammered so I don't care

This has been exercising my mind in the recent weeks, and I've decided it wil be a case of wait and see.....

  thats 2 seconds from my work i hope they are open at 6am

What would be class is if everyone over the age of 18 went out on Thursday night, straight from work, then turned up for work the next day hammered, in the same clothing, pissed as George Best in 1971.

Just so, for once the do gooders and conservative press could be proven right for once.

[STFC Village]

Totally in favour! Means i can go for a pint when i finish work (7am)

[Dazzza]

What’s the implication for those that don’t apply, do they have a kicking out time they must still comply to?

Nowt will happen, most pubs will stay open until 12:30(ish) but people will either head home or head for clubs after that.

Nightclubs will turn out to be the losers there will no longer be a mass evacuation of punters at last orders desperate for more drink but more of a steady selective crowd of clubbers.

[fatbury]

It will mean Nightclubs will be empty ...  and everyone will stay in the bar .. end of the nightclub era maybe?

[janaage]

According to the land lord of our pub, every pub in England and Wales can now serve until 1am 7 days a week.  Also from tomorrow there is no 20 minute drinking up time, you just have to leave when the land lord asks you to.  Which is a bit of a bastard for me cos I'm gonna be knackered after working Sunday nights then getting up for my proper job on Monday morning.

[Piemonte]

I'm all for it, athough the chances of me walking up at 4.30 am and thinking"i fancy a pint" are nil.

It bmay well spell the end of nightclubs, most of them anyway.

The nightclub era died with the 90's. Either that or I'm an old cunt thses days.

 Think you're probably right .......in a sense this has been going on for a while now.....quite a few of the pubs in Swindon have been open til 1 and 2 Thursday, Friday, Sat  for at least a couple of years now.
