So, congratulations Gordon: a line of cocaine (on Dec07 street prices) is now cheaper than half a pint cider.
The Hansard Fraser points to says cocaine is £40 a gramme. A half pint of cider, well….
Sainsbury’s has come under fire for slashing the price of cider to 26p a pint, fuelling concern over the role of supermarkets in the nation’s binge-drinking culture.
So, umm, 13 p.
So, we can now calculate how much cocaine Fraser thinks is in a line, can we not?
One three hundred and eighth of a gramme.
1/308 g.
Journalists really are lightweights, aren’t they?

Come on - he’s a journo - he won’t buy cider in Sainsbury’s (or even Waitrose) - how would he put it on expenses?
There are some staggeringly expensive pubs in Westminster - it would only need to be, what, £4 per pint to get to Freud’s reputed 50mg dose?

Yup. Anybody who only sniffs it 0.003 of a gram at a time is a lightweight.

“Sainsbury’s has come under fire for slashing the price of cider to 26p a pint”
C’mon. Tesco has “Value” lager at 22p a can - mind you, it’s only 2% alcohol.
