"Many of the pubs i use after work are between £5 - £7, depending on if i'm drinking Guinness or Lager. It may well end up at £14 a pint but please, if there is a god, it wont be for a good few years. I jsed to run pubs years ago and it was approx £2 a pint then. So with that in mind, in another 20 years a pint will cost £8 - £10. " There is no energy price cap for businesses. The whole supply chain is passing on the costs. | |||

"It won't go down well up 'ere in't north Rent and salaries are lower, so you should see a slower increase." Rent in Manchester city centre for flats is actually fairly comparable with London, increasingly. You're looking at £1000 pcm or more for the 1 bed new builds in what is really Salford (but claims to be Manchester.....) Even more if you actually have a flat in Manchester city centre, rather than Salford. M1 rather than M5. Salaries are definitely lower though | |||

" Of course not. No one has when I've bought them a pint. The ones I have bought dinner have told me they're 'not feeling it' and even paying for their hotel room hasn't resulted in any may putting out for me. | |||

"I saw a thread on TwitTwat about pubs across the country saying they can't afford the energy costs unless they charge much more. Estimating 80%+ increases just to stay open. " I was talking with the landlady of my local yesterday lunchtime about this very subject. She is divorced and has owned her pub for the last 20 years. She got through lockdown by selling beer at the door, selling takeaway meals at the door, even doing that only just paid her bills. The rising cost of power is not something that she or any other pub owner can get around. She already has LED lighting everywhere and a pub has to have lighting, she can't just turn it off. At this moment in time, even after all that she has gone through..................these energy hikes could and probably will kill most of even the most business savvy landlords pubs. I think as we all know by now, once you loose your local pub it never re-opens............a builder will be in there like a rat up a drainpipe and put as many cheaply built houses selling them for as much as possible. | |||

I have seen a few campaigns to save particular pubs, turning them into social enterprise community hubs that also sell alcohol and food. But, there is no social tariff for energy. The costs don't stack up to get to break even, let alone profit. | |||
