I dont drink or go to the pub, but I did remember how cheap a pint was in 1997, do you? It was only £1.42 and compared to now where a pint costs £5.19, that is a big increase, also a bus fare used to cost just 0.70p, have you also noticed the increases?

A pint in my local when I started going out properly was 67p.

7 pints and then just enough change from a fiver for a bag of chips on the way home.

First time in a pub, pint of mild 17 pence. Yes I was underage. When a pint of lager went up to 50 pence in my local I swore I'd stop drinking when it reached a pound.

"Ruddles currently £1.49 in spoons "

Ah Ruddles, way back in the pre breathalyser days they owned about 14 pubs in Rutland and Leicestershire and they had a promotion, you had to visit every one of their pubs and get a loyalty card signed to confirm that you had bought a pint, When all pubs had been visited you sent the card back to Ruddles and they sent you a Pewter Tankard. Happy times the swinging 60s were.

No wonder the town centres are full of youngsters in drugs rather than passed these days.
