Why are these lying adverts on TV?

That's why i said "(by giving breathalizers to those wanting to keep theirs upon leaving", or some other mean.

Best way it would work if there was no leaving of keys, unless you want. Peer pressure, GF, wife, etc would already mandate leaving keys at home.

Bar staff aren't policemen. And when they try to act like policemen, unpleasantness usually ensues. Not to mention every pub in the land would have to take on liability insurance to cover all the cars left in their car park. As four a day in the UK are going bust anyway; this sounds like a tohtally dumbassed idea.

You just need to get in to the habit of muting ad's, much less annoying TV experience :).

chinese girl's had a baby @ 9 y/o, that is all, So shh :) Look, we're one of the happiest countries on the planet, it must be the sex!

Don't see what the problem is tbh, drinking hasn't changed, really if you really think about it, oh yes, lets get the whole of the countries to be miserable arseholes for the rest of our lives so they can pump us more money, Woo!

No, i say! - Enjoy your life, just keep your penis to yourself :)

Since the initial joke and the follow up suggestion slipped you by, i wasn't seriously suggesting a BAN on keys.

No stripsearching, no mandatory key leaving, but perhaps a word from the bouncer, a question from the barman when someone is drunk about their car keys, advertising a bar as a "key free zone" which people then would act on or not etc.

The uk insurance for liability works like that? :eek7:

THAT is dumbassed.

I think the main problem of it is - you are just expanding pressure on an industry that is always getting fucked left, right & center due to the recession/recovery of the recession, the legislation and the idealism about underage drinking; pub hours; community spirit etc.

The one that bothers me the most at the moment is the "Drive 5 miles less" advert. They say scientists believe in MMGCCWXL and all that shite, when actually they mean climatological whores.

Because of that I drove the long way home today.

Cock holsters.

Hehe yeh, that is really annoying. If we're watching something on TV there's a mad scramble for the remote to mute it before the wall of advert sound hits us.
