Don't forget the clocks go forward on the 29th so we get one less hours worth of rain.

I paid £11.54 for 5 pints in a local pub last Friday (not a Wetherspoons either) That’s still dearer than petrol for the time being.

that's stupendously cheap for anywhere other than Wetherspoons. I don't really drink or go out anymore, but even the orrible spit and sawdust pub in town (which is worse than weatherspoons) averages £4/pint. Everywhere else is more like £5.40-£6.20 and we are nowhere near London

I bought a can=a pint(ish) of zero Guiness in the pub..... £5.00 per can. Its far cheaper to drink 5% ale.

Don't you love marketing? It was similar when Magners came out, trying to se)( up the cider market. So you got a trendy, sickly, sparkling "cider" in a posh can with posh adverts and paid double the price than you would for an actual proper cider like old Rosie.

But then again, some pubs are locked into contracts and can't choose how much they pay for a can off the supplier/brewery. They may only make 20p a can so can't choose to lower the price at the till

Yes, this pub is part of The Spirit chain. Its a nice pub but the manager told me that have no control over what/where food and drink is sourced, they basically get what they are given.
My son and his wife actually own a pub and they choose where everything comes from, even basic like veg. As a result the food and ale is always excellent.
Unfortunately he lives a long way away from me.

I was telling someone that it took me 2 days to put all my spices in alphabetical order.
Ha said "how do you find the time"?
I said "its next to the sage".

Do you remember when 'Diamond White' came out in the 80's, marketed and priced as a 'premium' drink
Now the 'breakfast of choice' of a certain group of people.

And this new fangled Madri Lager, marketed as being Spanish, it's got nothing to do with Spain, it's not even a Spanish brand, it's all a figment of the imagination of some marketing person at Molson Coors in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire

Funny enough, I'm sitting in a pub right now looking at the Madri pump and wondering what it was as I'd never heard of it before!
