Doesn't Bonio have this?[/quote:3t0w1vsq]

So if he does, then we ask him nicely to:

1: Give over his right to graze for a day or 2 for the winner

2: Him and his mates play some music for the gig. I believe they have some talent in the music department and might just draw in a crowd!

Given the negative coverage Arthur's Day seems to be generating I think we should be distancing ourselves from it. A festival at the same time is likely to attract the same amateur drinkers.

I am inclined to agree.

Yeah, it would just been seen as sour grapes and would have a negative impact on the perception of craft beer. However, there's still room for small guerrilla campaigns (like the Dark Arts freebies last Thursday).

I think older Guinness drinkers will just see all the trouble as yoofs getting out of hand after drinking too much and won't associate any trouble with Guinness, and indeed this is helped by imagery of gougers holding cans of Dutch Gold.

While Diageo is no doubt laughing all the way to the bank, and it's not putting off older drinkers, I would wonder what it's doing for out international perception as a nation. This level of mass civil disobedience is usually reserved for when someone publishes a cartoon of a prophet, although here it only lasts a day. But is it a day to stay away?

It doesn't have to happen on arthurs day.
