A Pound A Pint.

[happy daze john in oz]

I stopped going into my local pub, My mate Fred, and I could not enjoy a good conversation because of a big TV, a crowd of idiots all screaming like tortured banshees because some lad is kicking a ball. How bleddy daft. I am glad I am not a football fan because I would have to behave like them.
A pub without a Sports TV is worth a couple of bob extra for the peace.
Cheers

Maybe ask your neighbor if he knows a quiet pub Brian.

If you look at rationally a pint is overpriced.
The average UK price is about £3-50 give or take a bit, which works out at £28 a gallon.
A gallon of petrol is about £6-50, look at the investment required to bring the stuff to us:-
Oil rigs.
tankers
refinery.
It cost billions to bring petrol to us beer,
Beer doesn't cost as much but why is it so expensive?

Two things here, firstly I prefer drinking beer to petrol, secondly the tax on beer is way over thta on fuel.

Ref Post #22. I sincerely hope you are not referring to me when you state "the poster was some kind of genius"
because if you are lets get one thing staright mister, I am getting fed up to the back teeth at some of the crap you have written on here. It was not so long ago that you spent an entire evening insulting me constantly, in the end I had to ask Vernon to delete all of your posts which he did. For the record I was drinking in Quids Inn before Wickpedia was even heard of. Get your facts straight.

Good on ya mate.

Just a thought Jim, but if they can now produce a pint for one pound that mean that for years you have been ripped off over all these years?

Talking of £1.00 a pint I think a certain individual on here should stick to milk,or keep off whatever else he may be on.

Rob, My brother started to home brew his own Ale, a member of CAMRA, it was good and cheap, so he got him self a brewery expanded into a big one. he had packed up the sea and from a Master Mariner became a Master Brewer.
He sold hs ales to a lot of pubs around Mersyside, the North West, from the Lakes to Shropshire.
A Cardboard Carton , Party Pack, cost £ 30 for 32 pints. I alway took one to the Vindicatrix Reunions,
Then last year another big Merseyside Brewery took him over and bought him out, big lump sum and keeping his name for five years and paying him for five years. Now he is laughing all the way to the bank.
So making home brew sometimes has its rewards.
Good ale too.
ASPINALLS CAMBRINOUS CRAFT BREWERY. ....not sure how much a pint it is sold in Pubs now.
Cheers
Brian.
