    That means your pint was likely to have cost less than £4 so I can narrow it down to not being anywhere in bloody London! (I’m still here so have checked other boozers as part of my research)

    When my daughters did gymnastics every month we would stay in Whitburn as there as a training centre there. I seem to remember going to a pub that was stuck a bit out in the sea in Sunderland which at the time wasn't bad.

    The first time we went to Whitburn, I left my car over night in the car park, as we slept in the gym over night, only to find the radio gone the next morning. Bastard's, it was a new car, bloody glass everywhere.

    When I lived there I was driving a clapped out Morris Marina. It was less hassle to just leave it unlocked.

    The pub was probably the Marsden Grotto. Built into the cliff. Part cave, part veranda. Has a lift down to it or climb a zigzagging staircase down to the beach.

    So all that talk on here about the coins and notes constantly being changed to avoid fraud, and then the UK goes and make a 2 quid coin that looks very much like one that's worth 40p.

    Oh and the new 1 pound coin that was the subject of much debate on here looks very much like a 1 Euro coin, but at the moment they are almost worth the same anyway.

    That's about what I have to pay for a 330ml bottle to drink at home. one the government off licences can sell full strength beer. 24kr below is about 2.15.

    I just bought 8 beers and a 750ml bottle of whisky for 38 quid. no supermarket specials here.....

    When I'm staying in London for business I usually stay in Mayfair, and as we know that's generally a pretty expensive area. However there are a smattering of decent Green King pubs around Mayfair and you can get a good pint of bitter for 4.80. Decent selection of lagers and ciders as well. Plus they change out what they're serving regularly so there's always something good on tap. That is pretty good imho for the area and London in general.

    In a restaurant in Leeds bottle, a bottle not a pint, of Black Sheep £6. I feel like I’m being abused.

    That was some game today 3-4 to Millwall. No wonder they're giving you bottles they want you to do their dirty work.
