The Cheapest and Dearest Pint.

Britain's cheapest pint?

A BOOZER has beaten the credit crunch by selling Britain’s cheapest pint – at 89p.
The Marksman was attracting only a few regulars but now has 500 punters a night.

Belal Hussain snapped up the flagging boozer in West Bromwich, West Mids, last month.

He gets barrels cheap by buying twice as many as his rivals.

Belal, 21, said: “I can’t fit any more beer in the cellar.

“We are happy making pennies rather than pounds.”

At London Bridge just up the road from "Guys Hospital" near the new "Shard" building a pub is charging £ 4.40p for a pint of Stella Artios Lager.
At that price I think they should have kept the Major A&E unit open at Guys, the Minor injuries unit just can't cope with the Cardiac Arrest's they recieve from the pub.

In Singapore I was also paying around £6.00 a pint of Tiger. A Singapore Sling in Raffles Long Bar .£13, 00p or $26. Sin.

A pint of Guiness in the Long Bar was $18s around £9.00 a pint and after warm bottled beer it was worth every penny , Preferred Anchor to Tiger as the local Brew ,

This may surprise Neville and a few other of you ex Pats if you have'nt been here for a few years.I went into the pub today ordered my usual a pint of Boddingtons being £1.85 I proffered a £2 coin and was asked for a further 5 pence.That is a 20p increase since I was in there 2 weeks ago.Now 20p is nothing to us living here but lets go back to the 50's and 60's when if the Chancellor put a penny on a pint there was an uproar.So if we have a rewind our 20p today is 4 Bob in old money can you imagine that 4 Bob increase on a pint in one go!!!

I was of the old school, a pint was a working mans right:

A pint and a pasty, not to much to ask for a labour force,

The pint is now taxed so much they now head for the pasty.

The owner of the the 'Titanic' lived over on the Wirral, The Ismay estate, which is situate at Thurstaston near a landmark pub called 'The Cottage Loaf'. Haven't a clue what you would pay for a pint in that place. I doubt if the landlords have increased there prices as they are probably unaware of the local history and oblivious to the house well hidden behind the trees opposite.
