Where did you have your first pint and ar much did it cost?

Wheatsheaf 14p

 

Can’t remember how much it was, but it was in the Tommy Treddlehoyle and just as I sat down, licking my lips and about to take my first mouthful, the lady sitting next to me said hello and that she was now feeling very old, cos it was my nursery school teacher. I think if she had worked it out she would have realised I was underage, as I started at the nursery the day the school (Shawlands) opened.

 

First time I could buy my own beer/lager (aged 18), was at Skeggy Butlins in the Autumn of '89.
And it had recently gone up as well by 1p, to £1 a pint!!.
I remember the days when you could still get change from a pound note lol.

 

Fitties! Happy memories. Didn't stay in a caravan but one of them wooden cabins. Dad used to take us walking out to the sea fort at low tide.

 

Golden Rule Ambleside, 1976...19 1/2 pence, we were on a days RE course at Charlotte Mason College, lower 6th form

 

sportsman low valley 1983 think it was about quid a pint something like that

 

The Corner Pin on Wellington St in 1972... My mate bought it as he looked a bit older than me so don't know the price. I remember thinking how the f*** does my dad drink this stuff... it was Whitbread Trophy, I found out afterwards that my old man wouldn't touch that gnats p**s with a bargepole.

 

Pint of Stones at the **** Inn in Alverthorpe in the mid eighties guessing around 80p ish.

 

Fitzwilliam Arms at Elsecar, 1 shilling and 9d in tap room or 1 shilling and 10 d in best room.
In today’s money that would be about 9p a pint.

 

Manor in Ward Green, about 1975. I think it was something like 26p.
Funnily enough, that's where we had our wedding reception and disco in 1984.

 

Had my wedding reception there too mate, I come from village mind but the Manor was one of main places for such as wedding doos back int day

 

Fox and Hounds at Thorpe Audlin. We all spent our time looking out of the window waiting for the cops to come and nick us.

 

First bought by myself in a pub was The Board Inn, Knaresborough. 14yo, 1986. 45p.

 

Not sure. Either Wellington in Jump or a Platts common pub. The Pheasant. Beer I think was 10p. Lager 12p. (15 yrs old1972) Supped beer (Bitter) for a few weeks and hated the stuff. (Peer pressure) Mates saying "tha'll get used to it". No I dint, lager ever since. (Wi lime for first year or so) Don't sup Wine or Whiskey either.
Rather sup milk than those 2.

 

1966, think it was in The Monkey in between Hood Green and Thurgoland 2 old woman had it then, and an old fella on the piano think his name was Thorley price was 1 and 6 in Old Money most pubs had the same price. Underage drinking in an out-of-the-way pub

 

Good pub, good beer... we went in a few times in the early 1980's.

 

Yeah, I think it's a vets now, Blue light and Crown were decent pubs too but no longer exist.

 

Birdcage. 1983. Not sure of price

 

Suppose it could have been chicken feed.

 

Wharf at Worsbrough Bridge. Opposite the canal. Gone now, sadly. Turned into an Indian.

1979. 42p for a pint of lager, 8p for a bag of crisps. Dave the landlord was a top bloke. He must have known we were underage (I looked about 12 years old), but we behaved ourselves and stuck to the taproom, so he turned a blind eye. He probably made more out of us from the pool table and the juke box than he did from our drinks.
