Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Travelling to Northern Ireland seems a bit daft for any reason, never mind just to save a few quid on Carling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 “larger” FFS. That’s before we get onto the fact that it’s utter piss water like Carling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarHibee Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Not a single quote in that article from anybody within the SNP to suggest that this is even a thing. But then again, any article that starts with "The nats..." has to be taken seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll likely be a limitation on sponsorship's and advertising boards which I personally think is a good thing. There would be a public outrage if a football club were to sponsor a tobacco company, so why should alcohol be treated any differently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a section on branded products, which includes “glasses and mugs”. It’s not obvious that this includes glasses in pubs but it might. In context, it looks a lot less crazy. It’s part of a considered and comprehensive strategy. Not sure that drinking out of a non branded glass is much of a hardship tbh. 9.6 One way we could seek to reduce the visibility of alcohol brands would be to prohibit the sale or distribution of alcohol-branded merchandise including T-shirts, jackets and baseball caps as well as branded glasses and mugs. These increase brand visbility and have more permanence than alcohol adverts on TV or on billboards. They are often re-used over time within our homes or, in the case of clothing, can become walking billboards in themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make no sense for them to ban branding in places where adults go to have a drink. This consultation is more about limiting the exposure of alcohol branding and advertising to minors. As for t-shirts, jackets, caps... etc. The only time I ever see people wearing these things with alcohol branded logo's is when that person is involved in a sponsorship deal with the company. You don't typically see joe public sporting his Tennant's t-shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably influenced a fair few impressionable guests who are now living under bridges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know literally nobody in Scotland that does. The only people I see wearing these things are celebrities and sports personalities who are paid to sponsor the company or product. I don't see anybody walking around outside with their Strongbow cap. Do you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more about glasses etc. For example, if you're in a bar or restaurant a glass will generally have the brand logo on it and they believe that the wee poor weans will have their minds warped. That's my take on it anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I don't really get that tbh. Who in a pub, full of alcohol etc, is being swayed into buying a pint because a pint of lager on someone else's table has a nice red T on it? Ultimately, so long as I can still buy beer etc I don't really care what glass it is in, this just strikes me as even more nannying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a bar in The Netherlands that had a basket above the bar. If you ordered a certain beer, you had to put one of your shoes in the basket before you were given the glass of beer. You got your shoe back when you returned the glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they want to stop companies selling branded glasses, not stop there being branded glasses in pubs. All a bit daft either way. They need to chill on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Have we all forgotten the great p&b personalised tennets glass scandal? where we all used the one code and ended up with the wrong names on them anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses1924 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Used to get folk come into the pub I worked in who refused to drink out a glass with the wrong brand, so no stella in a tenants glass "it tastes wrong mate", anything that gets away from that kind of chat has got to be a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't taste wrong, but it looks absolutely awful. Look mate, if I'm paying a premium for a pint of Stella, it better come in a Stella glass. All the cheapo blue collared Tennents drinkers have to know that I'm above them in the social order, otherwise I'm just throwing my money away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
