RUSH-DRINKING IN ENGLAND
Sir,—Discussing the tourist trade in England, Sir Alexander Maxwell said: “The licensing laws in England do make it unnecessarily difficult for many people who would like to enjoy themselves in a normal way, rather than cramming down as many drinks as they can, before the fatal hour of 11 p.m.” First, one notices that it is always “in a normal way” that these t innovators wish to enjoy themselves; ; secondly, that 10 o’clock to 11 o’clock : in England is the rush hour, when L drinking has to be hurried. Yet we are [ always being told here that longer- ; hours mean avoidance of that hasty . drinking.—Yours, etc., F. T. MILES. Ashburton, March 23, 1954.
