What do we think about being fingerprinted to go into pub. Such a scheme is being rolled out by South Somerset District Council in Yeovil allegedly to cut down on disorder, thought a rise in domestic violence has been noted.
Big Brother or an aid to law and order?

This would be the start of the slippery slope towards a demolition man kind of future.
No thanks.

Financially a non-runner so no debat necessary

The Home Office, threfore we, are paying for its setup.

So there's going to be a database of finger prints of those of us who like a drink? So who has access to them? and why is it necessary to take fingerprints to gain entrance to a watering hole. This story has passed me by please fill me in?

will it put up the price of a pint

That's it, get the essentials sorted out!

What if you've just had your fingers painted? Would your prints show up?

... depends whether they'd been near Punter.

imagine it though

scary robocop-esque figure:-pass me ur right index finger
punter:-sorry,that was cut off in a brawl
scary robocop-esque figure:-u have 30 secounds to comply
punter:-i can't do dat cos-
scary robocop-esque figure:-25...24...23...

and i don't really fancy dat really. so in conclusion mr blair
i hear george bush needs you to hoover the white house or summat

The police state...uh oh

Have you been down the pub?

since dec 3rd?

thats quite a session.

.........It's got to be a big kebab after that !

Or a lot of toast and marmite if you prefer.

i'd pperhaps opt for the kebab first, then the toast and marmite the morning after.

We're getting into the wrong thread here. There is one for favourite after pub food.

Well Flaky, as a 52 year old teacher, I would recommend that you ensure that your posts make sense. I can cope with SMS speak but it is essential that I can understand what you are on about.

advice thankfully accepted

I think it might be a good idea to fingerprint people going into pubs. That way you could find out whether they drink real beer or pure pith's.

I've not not tried other people's pith...

Our local Co-op has introduced paying by finger tip. I laughed out loud, when the sixteen year old till *operative* informed us that it 'didn't read fingerprints, just the distance in between the lines on your fingers, and matches them to your records'

Honestly. Un-be-fucking-lievable.

I don't understand what you're getting at.
