I want that breakfast. Only issue is that it’s 3 am in a city that shuts food down at 10pm

Bloody hell. Where are you? The back of beyond?
Even in my lowly city we have takeaways that stay open until about 4-5am, will deliver and sell alcohol too.

Most be nice. Where I live the government has a nice monopoly on the sale of liquor, so good luck getting any to take home after 9-10pm.

Here the minimum age to purchase alcohol is 18 but we operate a ‘Challenge 25' rule, which is if you look under 25, we will ask for I.D. because there are many 15, 16 and 17 year olds that look older than 18. Also your not to be drunk (or rather too drunk) at point of purchase in store.
If buying via a takeaway outlet then you can't just buy alcohol, you need to purchase some food as well (but I can imagine quite a few places aren't that strict on that).

The one without the onions and mushrooms tasted better than the one with so I may try something else tomorrow.
I've not cleaned Piglet in ages, she doesn't get dirty at all any more other than brake dust on the front wheels. Sigh, no fun.

Could be worse. Where I live it’s essentially illegal to buy anything before noon on Sunday. The government tried to repeal it but one legislator talked about how it would make us Go dless and Satanic then convinced everyone else to drop it.

Ye’, we have something similar in England and Wales. It’s called Sunday Trading Law. Stores over a certain size, say supermarkets and large electrical, clothing etc... locations are only allowed to open for six hours, they can choose which six hours is best for them. Stores and corner shops etc... are ex empt from it. The good thing is that with many supermarkets, etc... that sell alcohol as long as they are open, they can sell it.
Scotland doesn’t have Sunday Trading Law but they have minimum price per unit on alcohol, making a lot of alcoholic drinks much more expensive, they also aren’t allowed to have alcohol promotions and also many locations are only allowed to sell alcohol in certain hours.
You end up with stories like this person who drove from Glasgow area down to my city to buy cider.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/man-drives-300-miles-evade-12557591
A man took a 300-mile round trip to evade Scotland’s new minimum alcohol pricing law.
Craig Mitchell, from Yoker, Glasgow, drove down to Carlisle in the North of England to get his hands on his favourite Hawksridge Cider.

In Scotland, the beverage jumped from £2.15 for a two-litre bottle to £5.75 following the introduction of the controversial legislation.
Now, a 50p minimum price per unit is in place. The move has effectively banned cheap deals on booze in Scotland.
But Craig, 29, swerved the law by driving to Asda in Carlisle on Monday and purchasing 50 bottles of Hawksridge.
Craig spent about £100 and saved £180 in a purchase he described as a “get it up ye” to the new pricing in Scotland.
“It was more of a ‘get it up ye’ to be honest,” he said.
“They can’t take our alcohol off us. I just got over the border and typed ‘Asda’ into my phone.
“My mate Peter has said not to worry about room to keep it – I can plonk it in his garage .”

People in the U.K. used to go on ‘Booze Cruisers’ across to France to fill up on cheap beer and wine, now many in south west Sc otland, come to northern England.

Where I live in addition to the laws here, My favorite beer (La Fin du Monde from Quebec) is not distributed in my state so it can’t be sold at any price . To get it I must drive 4oo miles round trip to another state .
I completely understand that man from Glasgow and his pain. If I met him, I’d get that bloke some cider and I’d guzzle down some stout.

The thing is, he went to our store in the middle of the city. Our store is literally four miles south of the border on the edge of the city and three turns off the motorway junction. He could of saved himself 15 miles and at that time of day, Scotland Road, the city centre and London Road would of been stop start traffic and added 40 minutes to an hour onto the drive.
