Locked up.

[Alex]

Gawd this country has gone to the dogs since we were all young     Booze is behind glass in my local Morrisons so you have to find someone if you want a bottle of gin.  I wondered though what is to stop someone, once they've put the bottle in the trolley, from putting it in a handbag ? asking for a friend...,

Same in Morrisons here.

They are probably doing it to avoid Supermarket Dash tactics. Plus they likely know the regular thieves too and if they are going to sell any at all they have to take that chance. I'm sure the local pubs would love it if they stopped selling booze in supermarkets  completely.

I think it'd be possible to design a security device over the lid which, if the bottle was shoplifted and thus recognised as it passed the security sensors at the door, could quickly inject a substance to render it toxic.   That'd mean it'd be pointless to attempt to steal it.

[klondike]

Wouldn't that violate the shoplifter's human rights?

[Michael Rolls]

Yeah, the human right to steal

[Dextrous63]

Wouldn't that violate the shoplifter's human rights?

Not at all.  It'd support their right to becoming sick through their misdeeds.

[klondike]

Ah you don't have what it takes to become a human rights lawyer sir. Absolutely anything can violate human rights these days. 

[Dextrous63]

Wouldn't worry about that, because I would also arrange for every human rights lawyer to be locked up indefinitely in a dungeon on the Isle of Mull.

That would include TwoTier, then.  He was one of them.

[Michael Rolls]

As far as I am concerned, he is still quite definitely'one of those'!

I fear he may get lost at sea (physically, to add to his current mental state) while being shipped up past Anglesey on an inflatable copy of La Amistad.
