Oh dear - 3x over!

So if I want to have a beer down at the bar - which is along a 2.5 km hilly dirt road, then another 2.5 kms along a tarmac road, I'd have to walk back?

I do not agree with getting piddled and then driving, not at all, but 3 beers - 33 cl bottles - and driving back, not seeing anything or anyone, here, I can't see a problem.

Sorry Jan...I'm not going to fall out with you over this.

You might not 'see' anyone but there are animals.

Let's just leave it.

Mick is teetotal these days anyway, but when he did still drink he had a zero policy when driving. I think there should be a total ban here too.

I can see it might be a bit different where you are Jan, but as long as you're under the limit it's not an issue xx

No excuse for drink/driving at all - but indicative of some greater problem in her life, perhaps? Do you know her that well, WM?

That was what we found with my sister and no way would I or could I condone her, people who drive after even the smallest amount of alcohol disgust me, but alcohol was something she turned to due to a very stressful job in the NHS and huge problems with her ex.

She hit rock bottom. She had her ban and her fine, went into rehab for five months which was by no means easy and that was back in 2013. She took retirement from the NHS and has totally turned her life around and *touch wood* will continue to be in this good place.

That's such good news Jo! Can't have been easy xx
