pandarilla Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 My locals gone from 3.40 to 3.90 for a pint of tennents, it’s shite but understandable considering the last year. I went to uni in Dundee only 13 years ago and used to get a pint for a pound on Tuesdays. Used to be mortal on a tenner...... I miss my youth.Folk will go back further and trump me, but uni prices in late 90s Glasgow was 65p for vodka and mixer. What a time that was.After an hour or two you were spending the change you'd received on the next couple of drinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Or the great Club wars of the early 2000’s in Dundee when it went right down to 27p for any drink until the council stepped in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 How much further can drinks prices in pubs go up before a tipping point is reached? The prices creep up every year. More and more folk are just going to stop going to pubs, or at the very least stop buying alcohol in pubs. Also it was inevitable that prices would jump when they reopened. I'm just surprised it isn't by more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a big city "let's see what we can get away with charging" type affair? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally was like a stream just flowing constantly across the windshield and several cars pulled up with emergency lights on I think until it passed. Don't blame them, was actually really frightening being unable to properly see. That's the sort of shit that drives people to bunker up in a boat with a bunch of animals for company. A similar thing happened to me driving through Yorkshire on the M1 once. Torrential rain coming down in sheets, I must have been mad to keep going. Stopped south of Birmingham (I'd got a bit lost, saw sign for the Bosworth battle site and thought "might as well visit") and it was a lovely day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m well outwith Edinburgh and my local is up 40p a pint as well. It’s the teenagers I feel for, wages haven’t gone up in relation to the price of pubs. If the prices continue to go up we’ll have a generation doing house parties rather than visiting the boozers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipers on full bung making absolutely no difference at all. Traffic crawling at about 20mph and even then felt like you were taking your life in your hands. Plenty of hazards on pulling over onto the hard shoulder from lesser mortals that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pub prices go up once a year, we grumble jokingly with the landlord/lady down the local. Supermarkets put prices up a little here, little there, folk barely notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
