A Brit Abroad

My name is Terry and I'm a 50 something year old dis-enchanted ex-pat Brit living in Cyprus. Why am I dis-enchanted? You'll find reasons enough throughout my tumble log, along with quirky items that amused me and things I think need highlighting, and occasional quotes from some of my favourite novels. Oh, and maybe some original work of my own.

Beer sales slump by 8 per cent

Beer sales have fallen by more than 8 per cent in the first three months of the year, figures show.

The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) said 1.7 million fewer pints were drunk every day from January to March than in the same period last year.

Sales in pubs, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and off-licences were all down.

BBPA chief executive David Long said: “These figures provide more telling evidence of the intense pressure in one of Britain’s most important sectors.

OH SHIT! Suddenly the recession seems much closer!
