How much was a pint when you could first drink?

[Lord Bracknell]

1s 8d (just over 8p) for a pint of Ansell's bitter. Cider was 1s 4d a pint (just under 7p). The lowest price I ever paid for a pint of bitter, in decimal currency, was in Barnsley - 13p.

Happy days.

 

[Willy Dangle]

1-10

 

[AnotherArch]

1s 10d a pint for me as well. Seems a common price on here - but in those days inflation was non-existent and there was probably some form of Retail Price Maintenance.

 

[Peter Grummit]

48p. Hook Norton Old Hooky, Warwick Uni 1981.

Six pints in an hour qualified you for the Goat Hurlers intra-mural footie team. Despite the aleing we once won a game 26-0.

55p

Horse and Groom, Horsham. 1978

You drank in the house of doom?

 

[SeagullSongs]

I think it was somewhere around £3 at the New Sussex Hotel in Lancing

You drank in the house of doom?

Yes, for many years.

Every Friday and Saturday night, and Sunday lunch time.

Now it's a posh Japanese Restaurant.

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

And I just remembered the Kings Head Shoreham, cider in the barrel on the bar 10d a pint (about 4p for you youngsters) occasionally Saturday nights we would have a whip round, buy a barrel and we'd depart to Cuckoos Corner for a party with people like Leo Sayer and a few others who were equally as good playing guitar and singing. Absolute disgrace that pub was demolished, should have been left as the focal point of the development.

Wabi's, pop in their for a cocktail when out with her that matters.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I seem to remember in Tunbridge Wells (The Clarence) Stella being about 70p a pint but may be wrong but I remember it going up to £1.They put a tea towel over the pump on Fridays and Saturdays because of the fighting.

 

[Rogero]

1 shilling and 6 old pence a pint,which is 7 and a half new pence.

 

[Ernest]

40p a pint of lager

 

[The Modfather]

90p

 

[shoreham seagull 1973]

Mitre Tavern, Baker Street - Worthington E 28p a pint in 1978.

 

[Return of the Rev]

recall paying 26p for a lager

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Off the top of my head it was about .... a shilling, but a brown and mild was a penny or so dearer.... Feck me, I must be as old as I feel. But reckon I could still take a better penalty than Puncheon

Think we all could take a penalty better than Puncheon FOS....beer was 10 old pennies...Brown and Mild 1 shilling,Whiskey was about 1 shilling and 9d...later went up to two whole shillings (10p)....disgusting amount of money...

Only 50p a year later - and of course you could still get a pint of mild for 22p in the Cholo.

 

[sully]

About 30p in the late 70s. It was probably a pint if Tamplins as it was only that and Stag that the local in Burgess Hill sold. I seem to recall thinking Pompey Royal was a decent pint until I discovered Harveys!

 

[Seasidesage]

64p on the way back from a Palace game. I was 11 things have changed somewhat...
