Why are soft drinks so expensive in Pubs?

Draught cke in the pub I work in, in the west end of Edinburgh is £3 a pint. You dont even get a pint of juice because the glass is half full of ice and fruit anyway. Its one of the biggest scams going.

If I have a soft drink I always make sure to ask for no ice so I get a full pint.

Tight Arse!
Do you ask for ice once you've had a slurp?

So do I - in pubs, restaurants and even in McDonalds. Fast food restaurants in particular put far too much ice in and like to half fill the cup. Two or three ice cubes is enough for me, but seeing as they seem incapable of it I just ask for no ice. It comes out cold enough, ice isn't required.

I was recently charged £4.25 for an orange juice and tonic (Firefly near Stockbridge).

I think you mean Mayfly

But I'm not surprised at the price.

I solved this by not going to the pub any more.

Pubs are for drinking alcohol innit!

Every menu I look at over here im faced with the same dilema!

Cola 0,5 = 3,50euros
Beer 0,5 = 3,20euros

What's 'foreign' for decimal point? Is it referred to as a decimal comma (in the local lingo)?

It's just called "punkt" which is "point"

I'm British...and an engineer so this really bugs me! Know idea why I wrote the post like that, I'm getting used to wiring it too much here as excel would take 3.50 as 3500.
