Alleged to be an illegal distillery ;-)

We've jsut been talking about this, as its coming up on Sky News. The police have known for a long time that illegal vodka is being sold in local shops, but on making inquiries, nobody knew where it was being made.

Now it's exploded, local people being interviewed have said that they have known there was an illegal distillery there for years.

Odd that. :-S

Lovell, Morse, Baker, Duval, Mortlock, Gibbs and Bristow.

I guess when they were buying the hookey vodka they weren't overly concerned with where it came from seeing as it was much cheaper !! but if they were aware they were hardly likely to spill and lose their cheap source of alcohol were they?.lol.

Hey ho...they must've known they were taking a massive gamble ..and it didn't pay off.

Hopefully no innocents got caught up in their gamble x
