Too dear
The price you pay for a bottle or pint of the locally- produced amber liquid keeps increasing. Maybe the high cost of importing malt? It unfairly creates a big hole in your pocket quickly.

Food for thought
The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. (Mark Twain 1835-1910)
Top quote
“While it’s the Melanesian way to pay compensation, how does an individual learn from his wrongdoing when the community or his families are the ones that continue to meet the burden of paying compensation? The term Melanesian way is so easily thrown around these days without any concept of what that actually means.” – National Court acting judge Justice Laura Wawun-Kuvi.
