Sort of...
Pubs can apply for a licence to stay open later than 23.00, but the pubs that achieve this are not the pubs you would want to frequent in the first place...
Incidentally, did you know that licensing hours are an Emergency measure passed during WW1 to ensure that munitions were made (they didn't want the workers getting stewed). Similarly, income tax was imposed to pay for the Napoleonic wars.
Moral: Once a government gets away with something, they never repeal it. Roll on the revolution!

A tad off topic, but...
Beer related.
An heir to the Stroh's brewery fell to his death from the 10th floor room in a Dallas area hotel he was staying in the other day. Seems that he made a rope out of bed sheets, tied it to the balcony, and tried to lower himself down. The knot holding the rope to the balcony gave way. End of story.
Those peole from Detroit......what are we supposed to do with them????

Hi,
With these temperatures red whine just goes straight to your head, John...
Just finished my second Rodenbach, having a Brugse Trippel now...after that a Keizer Karel as a nightcap...provided the temperature goes well below 25 degrees C....if not, it's either a pure malt whiskey or I won't catch any sleep at all tonight.
Tomorrow it's going to be hotter still....heh, heh...
Cheers,
