Firstly whilst I stick to my opinions I have edited the post to HD and apologised for the "strength" of post.

Now

Can someone please tell me the last incient/accident attributed to drink in the UK? I won't wait up for the answer.

If truth be known the culture has changed only fairly recently mostly after C4. The new laws are draconian and using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The real problem lies with airlines working their pilots to death. Long night there and backs, 2 crew 8 hour Atlantics, 6 earlies 4 sectors a day etc.

Now if you have been up all night and are landning in the morning it is said that your reactions and concentration is the eqivalant to having drunk 2-3 pints.

But that's OK?

Guess we all should be locked up.

BJ

Get a life. This guy is no criminal. I very much doubt you've ever met proper "hard" criminal but I can tell you it aint pleasant.

I hope he's got the strength to get through this OK.
