I can't remember what price my first pints was in 1968 when I was 14 having my first.

A pint was 1/10 at the Stable Bar in the Croft Spa Hotel (near Darlington) in 1968. It was a pretty cool place frequented by all us young and trendy (we thought) mods.

I was getting 11 pints for £1 in 1968. That was in Leeds, don’t know if Hull was any cheaper.
The Red Lion in Anlaby was 1/11 (for us Mods).
****kkk….im now paying £10 for 1
Yes but the average wage in 1968 was £24, a lot less up north. Our office manager was only on about £25. Though he could run a Volvo on that. I was on about £7.50 a week at the time. Lads I knew were on apprenticeships at £2.50 a week although they reaped the rewards when they qualified at 21.
