Happy hour cancelled.

[Droid]

The dog is bulging at the seams.

[ab29]

What time?

[ab29]

Just seen the time in the thread title!

[alice]

An hour of happiness is not enough. Open 24/7.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Interesting seeing people hooting their horns in support of the ?stop pollution? signs as they drive past. Irony isn?t dead

[Sephiroth]

knowing the Dog, if you place your drinks order at 12:30 you might get them by 2

[Jules-and-Boo]

They charged me ?5 for a coke. Not very happy

[intexasatthe moment]

A thread containing two titles .Not seen that before .Nor that The Crown and Greyhound is located in East Dulwich .

3 now?

[creditwheredue]

?6.30 for Camden Hells, ?5.50 in the park.

[wordsworth]

If people are happy or stupid enough to pay exorbitant prices at a once pleasant pub... what can one say.

I paid over 6 for Camden hells in the Chelsea Potter (Kings Road) - first pub I went to in a year - but the staff were so out of practice they added my bill to my mates card (I apologised the next day).

i suspect 6 is the new 5.

Went for a walk in Bermondsey and onto Rotherhithe yesterday, near Tower Bridge 7 is the new 6, and even in a Sam Smiths pub two halves of cider and a bottle of beer was over ?12 (no draught or fizzy beer on tap). Obviously Bermondsey proper is cheaper.

Although you have refuges like the Blythe and the Hope in West Norwood (hasn't done what the rest of Young's Estate has done) Where you will get plenty of changer out of a tenner for two pints. And there is always Tim Brexiteer's places.

They've put their prices up as pubs have to make up for lost trade. Bitter is still hovering around the ?4 mark, but they have the IPAs and the like which will be much higher. They tried to keep Guinness down to below four quid for yonks but will have passed that by now. I don't drink lager, but the farmhouse cider remains decent in terms of cost and price.

Another fave is the Ivy but their prices are well above the Blythe and not the same quality - I do tell them!

I see that Tim Brexiteer wants to bring European bar staff in on a special working visa. That takes the biscuit, but is for another thread.

[Sephiroth]

He's talking about bringing them under UK control and not EU control

BUT

We

Could

Have

Done

That

Anyway

in

The

EU

but

just

didn't

[tiddles]

Part of the problem is that breweries have put their prices up so the cost price to pubs has been seriously jacked up
