Got circa 3.70 (or thereabouts) change from 20GBP for 4 pints of Guinness and one pack of crisp. So basically a billion quid for a pint.

Won't be bothering again.

A few of my friends always moan they don't have any money for this that and t'other (holidays etc) but happily spend 4/5 nights a week in the pub spending £20-30 a night

£12 for a pack of 20 in the supermarket. It's no wonder the pub trade is dying on it's arse.

Rent and taxes are out of control in the pub trade. Very difficult to make money. And most people socialise online nowadays, making it even harder to profit.

Yes I will be missed. The boarded up pubs are a testament to the fact, genius.

Have you considered making a counter offer at the bar?

Must have been a bloody while ago since you last went out, I've not paid £2.50 for a pint since about 2005/6!

Round here (Huddersfield) the going rate is between £3.50 and £5.00 a pint depending on what your drinking.

Dubai: £9 for a 'pint' of the black stuff in a plastic cup (last night - Irish Village). Paid nearly £12 a pint for Leffe a few weeks back.

So you can go out, sit somewhere warm where someone is paying rates, rent, staff and having to buy the beer you are drinking and try and make enough to cover all that, socialise with friends from 7.30pm till 11pm and have 5 pints of beer and come home with change from £20 and you think that is expensive?

No wonder pubs are dying.

as someone who lives in greater london it does annoy me whenever I go into a pub in central london. £5 or there abouts for a pint, some places even more. It costs almost as much as the expensive tourist trap clubs in central london (i remember having to fork as much as £7-8 for a bottle of beer/alcopop in the late 00s).

Most pubs in london end up getting so busy you're drinking outside anyway, at £5-6 for a pint you might aswell go to the off license and get yourself some cans! £6 for 6 polish beers would do me for a night, but in a pub that's £30-35. Might aswell go to a curry house and spend the same amount in beers AND food, their drink seems cheap, or its BYOB.
