Help save our PINTs and PUBS





 



BUDGET 2013 - LOBBY YOUR MP NOW!
Please use this website to join CAMRA's final big push to persuade the Chancellor to scrap the damaging beer duty escalator in the Budget on Wednesday 20th March.

With 18 pubs closing every week it’s time for him to listen!


Only 9 more days to Save our Pint and demand an end to the Beer Duty Escalator
As we enter the run-up to the 2013 Budget, CAMRA members have only 9 more days to make our MPs and The Chancellor listen to us demanding an end to the Beer Duty Escalator.

Many thanks to those of you who have already written to your MP, but for those who haven’t, there is still time to make your point.

I would ask you please, as we head towards 20 March, to contact your local MP urging them to lobby The Chancellor to scrap the Escalator in the budget.  You can contact your MP at the House of Commons by telephoning 0207 219 3000 and asking for them by name.  If you would prefer to write, then some pre-written text, which you can build on and email directly to your MP can be found at http://bitly.com/camrabudget2013.

  1. Free Beer
    Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of 50 cents. Murphy said, "Hang on, I have an idea."
    He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage.
    Shamus said, "Are you crazy? Now we don't have any money left at all." Murphy replied, "Don't worry - just follow me."
    He went in to the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson whisky.
    Shamus said, "Now you've lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven't got any money!!" Murphy replied,
    "Don't worry, I have a plan. Cheers!" They downed their drinks.
    Murphy said, "Ok, I'll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth."
    The barman noticed them, went berserk and threw them out.
    They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk all for free. At the tenth pub, Shamus said, "Murphy, I don't think I can do any more o'this. Me knees are killin' me!" Murphy said, "How do you think I feel? I lost the sausage in the third pub."
