How long till a Pint costs 5 pounds?


Linky

Scroll down for prices.
There's nowhere to scroll for me:

The page in Hermiod's link makes me sad, though. :( When I was over there, you could pretty much count on a pint being 90 p everywhere you went.






Yes, that was before a lot of the people here at this board now were born, but still... :(
 
When I started drinking (When I was 15. and no, I was never an alkie. I just started early), I could get a pint for 50p,,,,
 
you brits and your silly pints, come to america, where you get lager by the Keg

And drink it out of shitty red plastic cups. //shrugs// Give me a proper glass any day. Some people drink beer for the flavour, and some people drink American beer.

Um. no, that is just how they have to drink their pisswater most of the time, but Americans if they have the will and the imposition when all else fails prefer to drink from tubes coming out of their hats.

Of course, I now begin to wonder exactly how large these beer-hat-cans can be dressing each ear without snapping some blokes neck? I'm wondering how 2 Kegs fastened to a trucker cap would work without pulping the wearers skull?

Maybe some sort of training wheels?
 
15 was when I stared going to pubs and drinking regularly, not when I first had a wee drinkie...

:D
 
Either the drinking age had gone down (It happens. An unpopular Government here reduced the drinking age by 2 years a while back to try and buy an election.) in Battlefield or Ace, a delightfully looking 16, was in the custody of a caregiver and... I think... Oh My.

I got it all wrong.

After just watching the clip again... No one wanted the beer, they made fun of the land lord for selling homebrew, which would bypassing taxation and bring the price down... but the Doctor wouldn't let Ace order a Vodka and Coke and it was eventually a "lemonade" which she ordered that cost 5 pounds.

How the hell much does a pint cost then?

Of note in comparison to recent adventures, the doctor also makes a comment about Archaeology "the point of Archaeology is to carefully recover the past. Not disssssssssintergate it."

Slightly more reverent than "I'm a time traveller. I point and laugh at Archaeologists."
 
Us Brits have kegs too - you can get a good keg of Timothy Taylors for about £75, there's about 70 pints I believe. Helps if you live local to the brewery too ;-)
 
And then across the boarder in Wales, you can buy Beer in wheelbarrows... Which is how John's ancestors got their name don't chu know?

Apparently the actual cost of a pint in the future is to reverse life long held birth defects like blindness. Isn't that nice.
