    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.

    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.

    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....
