How much ,

Post by delboy »

Just got back, took the missues out to look at a new bit of water, and her treat was to pop into a pub somewhere on the way back (somewhere cheap hopefully), saw this nice looking pub,had its own car park, walked in there no atmosphere and not the cosy little place I was hoping for, anyway, pint of larger and a barcardi and a dash of coke please, good pubs don't even charge you for a squirt of coke but thieving b******ds do, she asked if we wanted a single or a double, normally a double is a quid more but she wanted 8 quid for a double,whats that all about? So a pint and a barcardi and coke was 10 quid, F**k that in spoons we would have got food as well for that. and the bit of water I looked at for the winter didn't excite me either.

What lager did you get Mick?

Most of the pubs are pretty reasonable in my town, but there are a couple of niff-noff 'bars' that only sell premium lagers.

It seems to me, the taller the fancy glass they are served in, the more expensive they are.

(I reckon they charge by the inch!).

How much should Bacardi be? :shrug:

I haven't set foot in a pub since the first lockdown, so whatever idea I might have on prices therein is likely to be a tad out of date!

4 quid is alright for a barcardi and the another quid for a double is fine , but we just worked it out they charged us about £1.50 for a squirt of coke, that is discusting hope they go under , if I had a pub I would charge f**k all for a dash of coke and I would have happy hours for oap's and if you were a oap and could tell a good story I would give you free drinks.............must be a lot of them old boys up your way boy

who's in the pub about 3pm, no one usually .if they sold drinks half price for a hour how could they lose ,? You can get a bottle of barcardi in tesco when it is on offer for 17 quid so they must get it cheaper, they must make over 100 quid a bottle at their prices
