When is the REMF DVD going to be ready?
No woolly excuses, no long-winded justifications... just a date when it will be ready, please.

Except like Lord Bracknell said, it's not the state. It's the drinks industry.
I remember winning a bowling competition at Hove before a Sunday League game, when I was a teenager. I wasn't allowed to be given the prize, because it was a Sussex cap branded with "Two Dogs" -- the alcopop that was their sponsor at the time.
Instead, they dug out an England cap for me. With "Tetley Bitter" on the front :thud:

The prize ... a very smart cigarette lighter.
No question in those days about whether or not I should be given it.

No you are right Dandyman.
My son, who has since converted to the Albion - never sees them win but that's another matter, got a Spurs shirt for his birthday - It didn't have the Holsten sponsorship on it. Other kids ripped the piss out him so much, I had to a buy him a "small man" shirt. It was far too big but he was happy!

why the thud TLO
Did you know that we have 1% of the world's population but 20% (yes, 20%) of the world's cctv cameras. This government seems to want to control every aspect of our lives and watch our every movements.
Whatever happened to personal choice?

The thud is - where is the state intervention in this?
There are government moves to instill a sense of responsibility in adults - and specifically parents - to not have under-age drinking, especially considering all the effects and problems that excess drinking can have in later life. It's about education. That, to me, seems a not unreasonable policy. As a father, I am sure you would support it.
This move, from a non-governmental body (The Portman Group), is merely in line with government guidelines by not promoting alcohol or an alcohol company to children - in this instance branded on kids as a fashion accessory.

So presumably, the Albion being a family friendly club and keen to encourage the kids, we won't be seeing this in the club shop ...............
Three cheers for Liverpool. Now my 5 year old son won't become a raging alcholic by the time he reaches double figures.
Why didn't someone think of this earlier. Parents can now give up any responsibility for their children, safe in the knowledge Liverpool FC are their new 'higher ground' gaurdians.

What if you're a really small bloke who wears a size considered to be a child's shirt?

All the same when you think about it, the thought of a child running about wearing something advertising a product which, if abused, can destroy lives isn't overly palatable when you think about it. And because of their sponsorship of Liverpool, I'd suggest that an awful lot of kids are aware of Carlsberg, which again isn't perhaps the most wonderful thing.
