If i'm just out for a quick beer and the choice is between two quid or five quid a pint, then i'd have no qualms about going in a wetherspoons
And for an extra £1.50 you can get a burger, fries, two scoops of ice cream and a happy ending. Or is that just Woking on a match day?
See my example above about football. Yeah every now and then isn't bad, but don't understand people who want to go in there for a decent period of time. Like you I might pop in and get two bottles of Peroni for a fiver but no more than that.
Exactly. It's more cheap convenience rather than as a going out place. Even then in decent places i hate it if the fookers rip me off for a pint of beer. I don't mind so much in London but anywhere else once it touches four quid i think whoooooa...it's not about affording it either, it's just about being ripped off.
I've done a **** load of travel the last 15-20 years and I used to get so ****ing irritated by everyone full stop. I'm not a people person at the best of times. But my holiday starts before the airport doors these days. I love the occasional chaos at airports, partly because we get there early and book into the lounges, relax, eat, have a glass or 3 of wine and then head down for the scrum of boarding. My wife hates it when I spot an edgy irritated twat and start making comments about the staff or whatever that he'll hear and is guaranteed to send him off on one. **** like that has me chuckling over a drink or 2 well into my holiday
Yeah London you kind of expect it but can still find some decent prices if you look around. Paid not much less than £8 for a Peroni before Chelsea away last season... then about £3.50 in a different pub less than ten minutes walk away. For a decent lager you're normally looking £4 or more for a pint down here tbh.
Our village pub guinness is £4:20. Has been for a while now. He's a tenant and the breweries keep trying to take the piss and raise the prices. They also want to do away with the guinness and bring in London Stout, but there's a shed load of guinness drinkers in our tiny villlage pub. He has a constant battle with the breweries mate. Its not always about the landlords! Sometimes they're forced into things they don't want to. Just to add, I paid £4:80/£4:90 for a guinness in The Flask in Highgate a few months ago! No need for that sort of price out there!
Suppose it also depends on a number of factors, one being, if it's your local and particularly distance from another boozer than i'd pay it if it meant i could walk to it - also if it's a traditional boozer again i'd accept some of them need our help. I begrudge it more with the chains.
I agree mate. Most of the pubs around our area, North Beds, guinness is £3:90-£4:40ish. All I was saying was that sometimes the landlords don't always have a choice in their prices. The breweries seem to be going out of their way to close pubs rather than make them competitive and keep them open. I guess thats a whole new thread through.
I love this forum. Are American airline carriers still ****? Who cares, have you seen how much a ****ing Guinness costs at my local?
Just been to New York and flew with Norwegian Airlines - second time I have flown to USA with them. I would recommend them highly
Thanks for the advice but you’re too ****ing late, I’ve booked now. How much is the Guinness in your local?
