Sign at my local petrol-filling station
Yes, alcohol can be sold at filling-stations in England. However, it is not generally allowed in Scotland, except on the most remote forecourts, where they can prove they are the main sources for fuel and groceries in an area.
In Lithuania a ban on selling alcohol at night came into effect on January 1 2009, after which the number of accidents linked to alcohol has dropped by 45 percent in January-May compared with the same period last year,
Lithuania is struggling to tackle high alcohol consumption, which jumped to 14.3 liters of pure alcohol per person in 2007 from 6.2 liters in 1998. It also has the highest proportion of road deaths in Europe at 223 a year per million inhabitants.
Perhaps we should introduce a similar ban.

That is the great sadness! It can be remedied if/when we refuse to be brow-beaten by the persistent abuse of language.....starting with our family and immediate contacts!
Mmmmmm......The English Language....Of course, we like to call this sort of 'thing' 'living language'
