It was much better when you could see the price of every pint; now it's a lottery of how much they sting you.
Fair play to Wetherspoons, they are upfront about it.
P.S. You can tell you're getting old when you moan about the price of beer, back in my day it was 73p a pint :hehe:
You’re lucky, on 15th February Brains Light went up from 1/11d to 10p, Strongbow to 9p from 1/9d. Our dinner time pint in The Mitre, Llandaff during our hour away from Llandaff Tech almost broke the bank. :hehe:Quote:

I suppose beer might have been cheaper in the Risca area.
All bars are supposed to have a visible price list showing by law .
Refused to pay for 4 drinks in the Church Inn, Llanishen, because they were charging town prices in the suburbs
£6.60p a bottle of cider, robbing barstards
Ehhh by 'eck..first pint cost threepenny bit and a farthing.
actually it was 23 pence and i am having trouble with 7,8,9 quid for a pint. It just isn't worth it.
45p my first pint of Wothingtons BB.
I just drink in town now Tone but stop for one in the birch before the final walk down heathwood road. Shipyard ale in spoons at 3 squid a pint ,😂Quote:

Fino lounge was almost £7 for feckin Hofmister, I don't spot the pricing in most pubs, it should be right on the taps/pumps like it used to be, you don't walk around shops and then get a surprise at the tills. I mostly accept it, but every so often you get a nasty surprise.Quote:

I can't remember the prices, but when I was 15 or 16, 1976/77 school dinner money would buy two pints of bitter and 10 No 6
Nice school lunch :hehe:Quote:

Get a loyalty card (free), in the Napier and it’s less than £3 a pint (Guinness about £3.80)
My old man used to say, “When I can’t get 4 for a nicker I’m wrapping it in”………he didn’t :hehe:
I paid £8.40 for a 660ml bottle of Punk IPA in the Everyman Cinema last night. It was listed on the menu so knew what I was being charged, which is a bit different to buying over the bar and being stung afterwards.
In 1977 maybe 78 me and my mates would bunk school and go the "old Penn" and drank pints and played pool. They knew we weren't legal.Quote:
