A Pub in Wales!

upwards of £5

But....But....But.... people go back to the UK, and tell us how much cheaper beer is over there. You must go to the wrong places

The cheapest is weatherspoons the buy beer close to the run out date. I rarely use pubs locally but in London I was charged £7.50 for a pint. It does depend where you live and drink.

Pub prices vary enormously ranging from £3 or less at a Weatherspoons type of pub, to £7 or more at a more upmarket place (where I’m staying in the South East). However in supermarkets you can get incredible deals - a few weeks ago in Aldi I found Harvey’s Bitter which tasted pretty good at just 89p (less than 40 Baht) for a 500ml bottle - even more upmarket beers were only £1.49 (just over 60 Baht).

Now youre upsetting me!

Harvey's Bitter! A wonderful ale, that I enjoyed very much in the upmarket pre-match boozer we used on Parsons Green. Back in the day, it was known to everyone as the 'sloany pony' - you have to know Fulham to understand - but is also called The White Horse.

A pint of Harvey's, brewed in Lewes (promounced Lew-is for non Brits) in Sussex, is one of my all time favourite beers.

Getting back to the Pubs, Bars etc. - and going back a fair few years....

In Wales in the 60's (stories from my old man - not me.. ), it was only the "Working Man's Club" open on a Sunday and only for an hour or two - queues down the street....

As for "Working Men's Clubs" I've visited, there was one in Cleethorpes (Yorkshire) going back to the late 80's when I was working there (well staying there and working in Grimsby). Carpets, "lounge furniture" - ladies allowed. BUT, the carpet ended around 3ft from the Bar itself and there was a yellow line at it's edge - no woman was allowed to cross it! And this was late 80's...... Though they did have a "Grab a Granny Night" at the local nightclub on a Wednesday night, so surely can't be classed as sexist

Cleethorpes (and Grimsby) is in Lincolnshire. The Humber divides Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Living in Hull, I spent a lot of my childhood with trips to Cleethorpes. Paddle ferry across the river and train to Cleethorpes.

I stand corrected.....
