SHOP SOLD BOOZE TO CHILDREN
A LEVENMOUTH shop boss has been banned from selling alcohol for three months after failing a pioneering test scheme to combat under-age drinking.
In the first case of its kind in Scotland, Bob Moreland had his licence suspended after under-age youngsters were able to buy alcohol twice within three days at the Kirkland Mini Market in Methil's Kirkland Walk.
The youths were there as part of an under-cover test purchasing project, operated solely in Scotland by Fife Constabulary.
Under police supervision, 16-year-olds attempt to buy alcohol to see if store bosses are staying within the law.
And Central Fife's Divisional Licensing Board ruled on Friday that Mr Moreland was not a fit and proper person to hold a licence after test visits on June 30 and July 2, in which teenagers were sold alcohol without being asked their ages on either occasion.
Mr Moreland was said afterwards to be "deeply shocked" by the decision, although he supported the police campaign and accepted he'd had a fair hearing.
Mr Moreland's representative, Tom Johnston, had argued he was a responsible shopkeeper who had shown "due diligence" after the first failure by re-training his staff and posting extra notices around the shop.
Mr Johnston suggested there was little more he could have done without further guidance and he'd been "very badly let down by his staff".
The solution, said Mr Johnston, should be to convey under-age drinking messages more effectively – not "taking a wee man and giving him a kicking".
The Chief Constable's representative, Fife Council solicitor Susan Mackessack, said the scheme had featured much consultation with the licensed trade and received a lot of publicity.
The young people were not overdressed or made up to look older, she added.
"This is about addressing the issue of under-age people buying alcohol, the possible danger to them and the anti-social behaviour caused by alcohol abuse," said Mrs Mackessack.

And your point, apart from muck-raking, is?

Looks like there may be a couple of shop assistant vacancies upcoming.

Angus fifer, would you be saying its muck raking if it was one of your family who bought the booze under age........i think not.
The shop keepers have a responsibility to the public, after all selling to under 16's is shocking never mind twice in 2 days.

Shopkeeper breaks law. Shopkeeper loses licence. Local newspaper reports incident in the same way it would report a court case or a burglary. Where is the muck-raking?

The muck raking is posting it on here. Purely to cause mischief.
No coincidence that the original poster is hiding behind a daft username...

There's plenty muck raking goes on around here, what makes this one any different, eh?

auld news in the courier at the weekend

The only connection between the original post and this football forum is,as i see it,Bob Moreland supplyed pies for the mounders.(i think anyway).If it had been any other shop it ,would not have gotten a mention.

Only real surprise is that the shop keeper was white?

"was white"

has the shopkeeper in question changed colour vince and what is the relevance of his skin colour

Putt, putt, ding, ding, very hot. A golden opportunity for my cousin I think.

Bob Moreland was a Director during the Julian Danskin period at the club

There's nae chance of Morrison's in Montrose being caught out by selling to under agers. They asked me for ID when buying a lottery ticket.......I'm 28 years old with enough gray hair to make me look 40!!

It wis nothing to do wi' yer age. They were just wondering if you were Johnny Mitchell.
