Offy's in pubs used to be quite common didn't they.  I suppose the idea was you sent your kid along for some beer, and they didn't actually have to go in the pub.
  I always got sent round the local pub offy, just a window into the public bar, they more or less died out mid 80's once the threshers type shops started opening, that ruined the 2p back on a glass bottle of coke industry amongst under 16's.

They were referred to as the 'Jug and Bottle' in South Wilts when i was a kid.

You got 10p for those corona bottles.

There's a reference to Stratton St Philip on page 43 this 2005 document from Swindon BC, but that's about the only one I can find.

While all this old talk is mighty interesting, does anyone know what happened in the court case?

Any idea of when the verdict is expected? Presumably the judge will need time to review it all before passing a verdict?

This is not a private sitting though is it, so surely journo's can attend court and report back on what they hear, so this is bollocks surely ?

nope - but the parties won't talk to them - maybe I didn't phrase that quite right before (I'm not sure about the privacy or whatever)

You'd expect parties to not talk to the press while the case is ongoing through fear of preducing the outcome anyway.

My point was that it does not hurt the local hacks to send a reporter to the court for a week and report back on the story everyday, there must be interesting information coming out in court, interesting to see if Wills, Diamandis or Power has to take the stand.

Are the local press stickin their head in the sand scared of upsetting the current regime ?

I suppose the local journo's don't want to rock the boat with Fitton & Co so they ignore it.

Adver did report it was ongoing in the Tuesday edition, obviously read it on the TEF!!  They did state it was expected to finish on Friday.

Fuck the court case we'll find out soon enough...in the meantime while we're waiting, who remembers those plastic pots, a bit like fake old style beer jugs, that you could take home some ale in when the pub closed at 10:30 ?  Most breweries seemed to have them, I'd hazard someone has a collection somewhere.
