    Roku gin hasn't gone up. Still regularly available for £25 a bottle.

    I don't like wetherspoons. I only go there when I fly from Edinburgh Airport and just because I hate brewdog more than I hate wetherspoons.

    Think you'd be better down at Wetherspoons

    Those places I avoid; if you don't serve pints you don't deserve my business.

    I have a feeling the draught ale I prefer is in the £3.50ish range in both pubs I drink regularly and I assume the Smiths/Carling is similar. The CAMRA place tends to have several in the £3.50-£4.10 range as well as more specialist (often stronger) beer and ciders in the £4.50-6 range.

    £3.50 for a pint of Tennent's at my local boozer in the outskirts of Edinburgh. Comes with a plaster included in the price for when you get stabbed on your way out.

    Someone say DOOM: Bar?


    Most of the local beers round here are £3.50-4.00 a pint.

    I don't know about lagers, as I tend to avoid them.

    In trendy wine-bars and for silly 'craft beer' maybe. £7+ is what you pay in Helsinki!

    £3 is still the price at many weatherpoons in london. £4 in some of the more pricey locations.

    So £1.50 for half a pint, if on a really tight budget.

    In all the places I've been for the last few months it is £6 a pint whether it is a pub or restaurant.

    I paid £6 a pint at a golf club over the weekend (I don't play golf, was attending an event), and over £6 at the Headingley Test Match in June, but I help run a charity event in July and we were charging £3.50 and still making a profit without ripping people off.
