In other 'local' news this week.

Justice minister Cathy Jamieson calls for the Co-op in her constituency to 'restrict' sales of Buckfast tonic wine.

They agree and up the age for sales of it to 21.

Papers report it as a Labour led call for a ban.

The monks of Buckfastleigh threaten to sue her and/or the Scottish Executive.

CJ denies she ever suggested a ban.

Goes to visit her contituents, they 'upstage' her.

And of course:
The Co-op admitted that the sale of Buckfast had not yet shown any real sign of falling and one resident said: "It’s a nice gesture, but I can’t see it beating the Buckfast culture of kids drinking."
