I think you can buy a can of Carling for £1 for a pint can in your local offie.
And yet pubs charge around £4 a pint for the same thing.
What a rip off ! It's a con I tell you. What are they playing at ?

You can buy a car for £1k. It has wheels and doors same as any brand new BMW or Mercedes. A car is a car, there is no differentiation between them and anyone paying more for what they think is a better one is a fool because despite me obviously knowing absolutely nothing about the car industry, I am right.
Or you can build one for yourself for a fraction of the cost if you’re just looking at raw materials, as raw materials are the only cost that go into the production of cars
Not retail and to take the thread away from the boring PE arguments - it’s a pizza ffs made from flour and water invented in Naples as peasant food!
Manchester’s lost 2 great music venues today, looks like there’ll be plenty more going the same way across the country.

Pah. Might as well go and watch a busker in the street rather than pay £10 to see the exact same thing. It just music FFS- singing and playing a guitar. Manchester’s lost 2 great music venues today, looks like there’ll be plenty more going the same way across the country.

sad news - several theatres have already closed and many more announced redundancies. I'm sure more music venues will follow. We will soon be living in a cultural wasteland
Someone will take over the lease at the viable venues. here's some more..

Two of Hull's most popular music and clubbing venues look like they are closed for good.
Hull Live understands the firm behind The Welly and The Polar Bear, as well as the Hull Box Office, has put two of their six companies into administration.
VMS took on the venues in 2018 but it is understood it has now gone into administration, leaving dozens of employees at each location without a job and thousands of people without their regular night out.
Each website has been taken down meaning punters can no longer book tickets or view what shows are coming up. Hull Box Office was used as a central point to book tickets for the other venues, promoting upcoming acts that were visiting the city.
The Polar Bear, in Spring Bank, was one of the city's most popular cultural hubs and pubs that held regular live performances. The Welly is one of the city's oldest nightclubs and welcomed thousands of punters through its doors every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night - as well as hosting its own events.

Someone will take over the lease at the viable venues. Given this weeks developments and the ramping up of the fear factor, i cant see any surviving.
Some venues may have the ability to repurpose, opening in a different capacity if they have space, but not have the financial ability to invest to do so or the liquidity to weather the time gap between now and when they are cash generative again. I’m thinking concert hall turning into multi event / gallery type spaces. Not all will be able to but those that can may find new proprietors / backers able to keep them going in some form.
Blimey this thread.
Pizza Express Pepperoni 475g is £5 in supermarket and £10.90 in their restaurants.
If you don't think paying £5.90 to sit in a restaurant, have someone serve you, have someone cook it for you and have them clean up for you, is good value then I don't really know what to say.
