£7.50p a pint. That’s it I’m out

But only when you compared to prices above £6.00. When comparing it to prices below £6.00, then it's not. Which is what you have done.

There are no places below 6 near me. Only spoons which is 3rd world.

£7 for a pint of guinness is mental. You can get actual beer for that

But Guinness is good for you...

Hello mate I think we've met before on PH runs!

You're correct, nobody in their late 20s/early 30s needs a 4 bed semi-detached as a first house, but even so, the skyrocketing of house prices in bigger cities isn't unnoticeable. Personally, it's more disappointing for me because the friend circle I grew up with have mostly all moved outside of where home was, so out of the 8 of us that remain close friends, only 3 live relatively close to where we grew up. Is that a good thing or a bad thing - well, that's probably a discussion for a different thread, but I do miss seeing all my old friends at the same time.

where is that?

I can sort of stomach paying £6- £6.50 a pint, its when they charge the same for a shandy or £5 for coke (out those horrible jet taps) that annoys me.

I was in Redhill last weekend. A pint of Estrella for her and a bottle of Coke for me (driving duties). The damn pub had just opened and wasn't even fully furnished yet, the roof was bare and the side doors were closed and still had their protective covers on!

I had two shandies that evening too and they were the same price as normal pints.

I can recommend the Spoons in Redhill. One of the better ones. Plenty of real beer under £3
and it is female and child friendly. No problem sitting there with a newspaper and a coffee all day.

Fussy folks worried about sitting in the same room as a bunch of ordinary folk can pay 2-3 times
as much elsewhere, if they want to. Choice is a good thing.

I think the Garland used to be a good Harveys pub, but I haven't been in there in 10+ years.

Londoners can console themselves that MPs can get a pint of Worthington's Cream flow ( a very nice beer), or a guest ale for £2.90 a pint in the House of Commons bar,

And a main meal for about £3 too!

I'd definitely prefer drinking in a spoons and the conversations would be so much better.

Crikey, what makes a pub 'female friendly'?

A toilet with a seat on it?

Ahhh Spoons in Redhill, like the Mos Eisley Cantina. On a good day.

It wasn't long ago when the correct response would be "a toilet".

The Bridge Pub in Aberdeen has no female toilet, as I understand it.

Bananas, but there you go!

Nah - eating and drinking with MPs would be fascinating. Never miss an opportunity to mix with influential people...

Aye, that's one thing, but to deliberately have a male toilet and not a female one is, well, pretty backward, imo.

Sad news for those of you in London who like a 'spoons, the Knights Templar in Chancery Lane closed at the weekend. It is a heck of a building, and the inside was very impressive, so despite it being a JDW, I will be sad too see it close as I did have a few pints in there with friends on occasion. It was a decent boozer due to the crowd that used to go in there. Mostly the legal profession and similar.

Supposedly remaining a pub.

I've never been in the Knights Templar, but your description reinforces my long-held view that not all 'spoons are equal, despite the many vociferous protestations on here to the contrary.
