Now the woman who was interviewed the off licence owner says that shopowners shouldnt have to police what the customers are drinking ... I was in the co-op in haslingden this afternoon and they wouldnt serve a customer with booze because he was drunk ... and in fact the girl said it was illegal for her to serve him with the 2 litre bottle of cider because he was drunk and that she could get in trouble for it. She took the bottle of cider from him and the man stumbled out of the co-op and she said at least he didnt get nasty.
