If there was a hustings at the Hob they should ask all the candidates and audience to have a pint before the event. Apparently that would be reasonable, even if some of the audience are teetotal.
Ah, but one or more of the candidates might be teetotal 'for religious reasons' (ie because some parasite in a funny hat has told them that a fictional being has said that they have to be), in which case we'd all have to 'respect' that.
