Had a beer in London today. Shocked

[BR14]

I don't wear corduroys.

And Doom Bar is yucky.

Well yes, ladies drink prosecco not manly ale
Corduroy is very trendy again these days though I couldn't say why!

I do like a nice pale ale.

When I've gone to beer fairs they've been shocked that there are ladies and young people present.

The young people are there as they've worked out the perry and cider is cheaper than the nearby pub with their discounted entrance fee.

There as us ladies over 25 are actually drinking ale in one of their 3 different sized glasses.

I've had Corduroy bags in the last 3 decades.

[WTFH]

I see that since this thread has started, the price of beer has dropped.

Otter, Branscombe or Palmers for me.

Don't worry - it's not going to stay that price for much longer

yeah because Barmen only serve two pints an hour so a 10% increase in price makes sense to cover a 50p pay rise.

Spoons already pay £9 an hour average. Greene King its £8 an hour (Glassdoor)

[eek]

This is my local's selection tonight:

That pub looks very familiar which is now annoying me as I can't remember where it is.

The Darlo Pork pie doesn't help.

Presumably you didn't read beyond the headline. It includes things like VAT reverting from 12->20%, hugely increased energy costs, etc.

It's in Durham City. If that helps.
