Switch to driving on the right hand side of the road?

Sweden rings a bell as having done this, no idea if it fits the other 2 though.

I'd hope that antidisestablishmentarianism would be allowed as that is popularly known as an example of a very long word, so I'll go for 28 letters.

Although knowing some of the words that it does allow I wouldn't be too surprised if it was happy with antidisestablishmentarianismisticalicitinesses.

I saw one for the first time yesterday, certainly wasn't in the pub last time I went there a couple of months ago so they might be getting rolled out at the moment.

Didn't play, but saw it was advertised as £1 for 20 minutes play time (or something like that) so looks like an SWoP.

I'll dive in at the other end of the spectrum and go for 2 weeks old.

I'm now wondering if there is one or more churches somewhere claiming to have the religious artifact of Christ's foreskin.

Pretty much spot on there Nick, it would be £1.78.

I think that spirits are classed as over 22% ABV. If it had of been classed as a spirit it would have been about 1/4 more tax.

Over to you Nick

Staying on the beer theme,

Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout was the strongest beer served in the UK at 21% ABV. If it was available today and you were to buy a pint (why not, it is Friday) how much would you pay in alcohol duty (not including VAT)?
