You’re so lucky! The midnight Masses in Chester have been cancelled, due to unruly drunken hoodie yobs! I could have gone to one tonight way across town (not that its that big) at 9:00, but I’d already cracked open the wine and wasn’t going to go alone. My only other Catholic friend (who is Irish) lives too far away to get the bus as they stop service and taxis double their rates on Christmas and New Year’s Eve...and they wonder why the rates of drink-driving have increased exponentially over the Holidays! I know that in New Orleans and Houston the cab service is free if you call them and slur enough, as they’d rather compensate the cabbies with taxpayer money than have to deal with the cost of scraping folks off the pavement...it is cheaper in the long run. What do they not do that in England? Oh, that’s right, its cost effective...Double the rates, which pretty much guarantees that people are gonna drive drunk, I mean that is such Crap! Anyway, again, wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!

I think you’ve been misled.

Subsidised taxis for drunks? No thanks, we’ve got quite enough nanny statism over here already without me paying for peoples taxis home after a night out as well!
