That decision may be a booby trap for the paper in terms of sales...
Well, it will certainly will lose those who can't read, but buy the paper for its titillating content.
The Sun's circulation used to be much inflated during the 1980's when its page 3 featured Samantha Fox on a regular basis.
Yeah, but have you seen what she looks like now?

It's the bloody tonic that's the problem, not the gin...

Perhaps you just need to mix them a little stronger?

A homeopathic G & T - neat gin, and you wave the tonic bottle over the glass...

There was an empty seat in the front row when Good Omens had its world premiere in London on Tuesday.
But that's not because organisers had trouble filling the gigantic (and newly reopened) Odeon in Leicester Square - quite the opposite, the event was packed out.
In fact, a seat was deliberately kept vacant for Terry Pratchett, the co-writer of the original novel, who died in 2015.
As a tribute, his trademark hat was placed in the front row as the premiere got under way.

I humbly disagree, I love my tonic, and can drink it without the gin, though maybe with a few drops of angostura bitters.

Ah, but tonic thickens the blood and increases the risk of aneurysm, heart attack, deep vien thrombosis, and leprosy.
I might be wrong on the last one.

It's good for you. It's a "tonic", innit?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Today is Hemelvaartsdag (Ascension Day). A stupid religious day for the proddies. It is half a Sunday. Most businesses are closed but everything else is open.
