There is a very logical reason for large increases in beers, wines and spirits sales this April. In March of 2013 the Government announced that duty was going to increase on these products on April 1st and people bought to avoid this and so in April of last year stocks were high in shops and so they purchased far less than normal which makes this April look very good

I’m sure I alone added a few percentage points to the liquor sales. Looks to be a long blurred summer for me.

You can buy beer on Sundays in 2014 that you couldn’t in 2013. And April was great boating weather this year.

That’s a lot of Sunday beer!
