 BANK HOLIDAY BONANZA FOR BOOZE CRUISERS
 Some 400,000 Britons are expected to go
 to France over the Bank Holiday weekend
 and return home loaded with cheap wine 
 and beer.                              
                                        
 But the Campaign for Real Ale warns    
 that the flood of cheap booze is       
 hitting pubs and off-licence revenues. 
                                        
 Camra spokesman Mike Bennjr said the   
 strong pound also made shopping for    
 booze on the continent more attractive.
                                        
 He blamed high tax levels on drinks for
 encouraging the cross-Channel trade.
