I was pretty shocked when I went to a pub there in 2011 and wasn't able to buy 3 pints with a tenner!

I was 16 when I first started drinking Brickwoods @ ~12p IIRC. As a Yorkshire lad stuck in Pompey I always found the dimple pots and no head on the beer to be really weird.

Approx £2 for a pint of Fosters in the late 90's being the only pub that served us 16-17 year olds they may have inflated the price a bit. We were all childless and frivolous so we didn't care

1975: Tetley bitter, 21p a pint
1976: Aged 16, me and my mate went camping for a week, after finishing our 'O' levels, to Conway Morfa campsite in North Wales, I took £35 cash, got bladdered every night drinking in various Conway pubs and came home with £4 left.
1979: Some dodgy insurance salesman trying to sell me and a couple of mates a "savings plan", and saying it would cost about the price of a "pint of that a day" as he pointed at a pint of lager in the pub we were in, which was 50p at the time.
Last month: Almost suffering a heart attack when I was charged E10.95 for a litre of some Spanish lager in Barcelona.
Any sub £3.50 pint these days seems to be reasonably priced, although drinking in the pubs around Goodison Park on matchdays, there are several places where you can get a pint for about £2.00.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
I remember paying 1/7 a pint as a student, but I'd been drinking for a few years by then and suspect it was a little cheaper when I was an underage drinker. You could have a good night out for 10/-. Rough cider was a lot less money, but a lot more lethal.

I remember the moaning at budget time when they put a penny on the piece of a pint and tuppence on 20 fags.
When I became"official" Carlisle had recently escaped from the all embracing grip of the State Management Scheme.The price of a pint would be somewhere between 35p -50p I'd guess.The problem wasn't so much the price,more the fact that Greenall *hitley moved on along with S & N.For quite a while I assumed beer was meant to taste nasty.First visit to my cousin at Newcastle United solved that,and I've never paid for warm urine since
Newcastle Uni not United,my cousin is female and not given to exercise,could she have played for Leeds?

25p in the pub, 21p in the miners welfare
That saving plan, we took a 15p a week one out in 1974 , it paid out £9,000 a while back.
No idea. My Butler settles their account at the end of each month.

Varies a lot, but in a typical local in Nottingham about £3.20 for bitter.
