  • I walk around Manchester to check out the dingy pubs and try and find a hidden gem, one pub lools like it should be on an estate and another you can't move no matter what time you go in. I have to also hit some 2-4-1 bars as i'm skint so need to strech my money!

    A pint used to be the working man's treat. In 1970 the average price for a pint of beer was 2 shillings and 11 pence. That's £1.70 in today's money. The corporates have hijacked the working man's lifestyle. We're being fleeced. I wish people would stop paying these extortionate prices. £5.70 for a pint is offensive.

    • @thegoldendog7991

      That equates to about $10 Canadian dollars. 50 Canadian cents more than my Guinness cost in an Ontario pub today, though I have paid as much as $12 Canadian dollars for the same size Guinness at a different pub.

    They look quite presentable. Some of the places I've been: two terraced houses knocked into one in Swindon, the 'bar' is upturned wooden crates, the furniture is salvaged from some tip and although it's a cliche, there is literally sawdust all over the floor. A dark basement in Manchester where a huge African guy wearing a robe and fez hands you rum unbidden from behind a curtain. A pub on the outskirts of Middlesbrough that has chicken wire over the bar and you get served through a hatch. A hovel in Morecambe that is suddenly filled with 50 skinheads who unravel the flag of the Austrian Painter and start chanting. And so much more. All this was in the 80s and 90s, I think everywhere's cleaned up a lot now.

    When she originally took the property as a teenager - it wasn’t very fashionable to live so close to town and everything was dead around by 8pm except for a few clubs pubs.
    Crazy how times have changed - she bought the flat from the council for something silly like £20k and it’s now worth £200,000

    £5.70 a pint ? double the duty on takeaway beers from shops and half it on the stuff sold in pubs .
    Those who are sat in doors with 2 4 packs might be temped to leave their home if it was cheaper to do so .

    Yeah, I'm an old git now but £4 for a pint? I recall a time in 1972 when Boddies was 14p a pint and yes - with one quid, I could buy a small round, get a bag of chips and still have enough for my bus fare home!

    • @Caskchap
      @Caskchap Місяць тому

      I started going in pubs in 1970, still proper money, 10 pints for a pound so two shillings a pint, or in some pubs it was one and tenpence so ten pints and one and eight pence change left which is one shilling and eight pence in proper money Enough for the bus home and some chippy. What glorious days the were and no badgering about non existent climate change or bloody pronouns ( whatever they are)

    the street you had the 2 for 1..is called oldham street....back in the seventies, it had 3 yates, all on the one street...(before yates went upmarket)...we had, top, middle and bottom yates's we called them....they all had sawdust on the floors, and "brass spitoons" all along the bottom of the bar...long wooden tables, and equally long benches, was all you had to sit on...the speciality drink was the "BLOB"...austrailian rough wine, drawn out of huge barrels, behind the bar..so, a blob itself, is made up of half aussie wine, half hot water, tablespoon of sugar, and a slice of lemon to finish it off...after you have had about 4 or 5 blobs in yates..you were ready to hit the discos, which were all over manchester back then....they were really rough places..sort of like a wild west saloon...(guaranteed fights breaking out every night)...i myself, in yates's had many a fight back in those days, it was just the culture back then...but that never put people off...everbody would start their weekend in one, or better still, all three yates..before they went on to the nightclubs...happy days eh!!!
