Hancocks Home Brew 1/10d in the Royal Oak Whitchurch , Hancocks PA was cheaper but like dishwaterOriginally Posted by Cleve van Leef
not into alcohol but I can just about handle Newcastle Brown Ale
Everything else tastes like death
Brains tastes like soap
Mason’s Arms Whitchurch a great pub in the 60’s/70’s.
Remember it well, opposite Trevor Ford’s garage
my first pint was 3 for a quid..33p a pint..three brewers.colchester ave
My old man used to say, “When I can’t get 4 for a quid, I’m wrapping it in”........he lied
Scrumpy at 9d a pint in The Mitre, Llandaff was great value when I started drinking 'properly'. Ratted for about 3 bob.
I remember paying 39p for a pint of John Smith's. That was in a social club. I think a pint in the pub was 48p. A fiver was more than enough for a decent night down the pub.
i can remember being able to buy 10 fags for 1/11d. I would buy 10 Cadets on the way down to the City at a shop on Ninian Park Road. We used to call them the One Drag Fag. They were all gone by half-time.
Rhymney brewery best bitter, Cow and Snuffers 1/8p a pint. 12 for a quid.
Anybody remember fags called Dominos that came in a paper wrapper with 4 fags in it for 6d?
Think Reg Walton who was landlord then was in the Echo a couple of years back as being oldest season ticket holder at age I think of 96.Remember it well, opposite Trevor Ford’s garage
where did you live? you're two years younger than me and i could get 4 pints out of a quid in cardiff
Yep. The local agent would also sell them for 2d each or you could buy a pack of two for 4d.
I remember having 5 pints there at that price and having change from a 50p piece. Needed a nap in the grass on the way home. Brain's Dark was 15p a pint at the time.
I looked older than my years as a teen, I had a pint of bitter at about 10d in the Bush Bassaleg , which is no more
1977 (remember it well because it was the time my mother died) 4 pints of Dark in the Hollybush Llanedeyrn 4p change from a pound.
14p for a pint of allbright in Llanrumney Hall early 70's
And 3 shillings (15p) to get in the grangend late 60's
Petrol for 4/11d a gallon, 6d for Saturday morning cinema and 1 shilling to see the City.
Imagine the Bob Bank being called the 5p Paddock
In the early seventies it seemed that decent beer was going to disappear for ever. Disgusting slop such as Worthington E, Trophy, Watney's were taking over and it was a travesty. Carling and the like are still out there but thank goodness that some people with functioning taste buds resisted the trend of consuming such swill....
Double Diamond 66p a pint in the electricity club.After football on Pontcanna.
That's the cheapest I remember.
