Weaned off the beer, no longer bawling for a sup

'Lighten Up' column: The news that real pubs might soon be opening is news of the too little too late variety

After the drink was so cruelly taken from us, we  are fully weaned off it now.

While my heart bleeds for rural publicans, it bleeds all the more for rural drinkers.

We are the forgotten people. The news that real pubs might soon be opening, is news of the too little too late variety, if you ask me.
