    I can remember it being 60p for a pint of Greenall's Bitter (rank) and it being £1.20 to get into the Burnden Paddock on matchdays (also rank)...

    Hence my rule, going to watch the Wanderers should equal two pints, and as a pint has not reached 16 quid yet I'm not gonna be going...

      I'll find out how much it costs in the local in the village I come from in Ireland next week (if flights haven't been cancelled or airports closed).

      I don't drink it over here as I find it isn't kept well. I stick to cask conditioned ales (but again it is all down to the pub).

            I remember (as a kid) a round of 4-5 drinks costing less than a quid in the local working mens club.

                I can remember getting 4 pints for a quid, then within the space of about 3 months it was only 3 pints for a quid. Inflationary 1970s!

                This was oop north, not London prices.

                  We had Carless Days. Your car got a sticker which had to be placed in the upper middle of your windscreen to show which day you weren't allowed to drive.

                  Dad's Valiant couldn't be driven on a Thursday.

                    I remember a pint of cider costing 13p in Walsall in the '70s.

                    Alcohol prices may soon be shooting up even faster and a lot more.
