Jeez, and I was disgusted when I paid £3 for a lager, for the first ever time. It takes me back to when I could first order beer/lager at the bar, and it was at Skeggy Butlins in '89. A pound a pint then!!.
I remember being shocked at paying 60p for a pint when I went to Liverpool uni in 1981. Never paid more than 50p back in Wombwell
And I was delighted to be able to borrow someone's pass and get a tour of the Pavilion as well. Everything about the day was great......other than the cricket. Reminded me of Barnsley away games.
It makes me laugh when The Sweeney and The Professionals (on Itv) get drinks in a pub, and they still get change back from a pound note.
Three quid? What's that for, tap water? That'd be a contender for the cheapest pint anywhere near central Manchester.
My first pint of lager set me back 42p. The crisps made it 50p in total. I was 17 so this would have been 1978/79. Most nights I went out with a fiver in my pocket and came back with plenty of change. The strange thing was that I could drink underage on a night, but still get into Oakwell as a juvenile on a Saturday afternoon.
Especially when the cost of living crisis hasn't affected the burger van at the bottom of the car park. I was shocked last Saturday that it was still £2.50 for ya burgers.
By the sounds of it kid lol, your 10 years older than me. I was born the year we went decimal, so I never knew about or got to spend that funny old money. Weren't there about 2,000 of those massive old pennies in a pound.
Nah you exaggerate. It’s easy all you have to remember is 12 pennies in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound so a mere 240 My first pint was 35p in Wombwell catholic club opposite the cop shop
So I weren't far wrong then lol. Ive only ever been through Womble on the train, so Ive no idea where the pubs and the cop shop is.
