Grappler Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sorry pal, no, but I can remember that a pint of Stones in the Students Union bar in Pond Street (Nelson Mandela building) cost 22p a pint in 1978, when they had lots of live bands on. I would guess the WMC would have been at least that if not cheaper in 1974 and cheaper still in the 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo68 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Can't be specific about stones In the 'Wop' in sheffield 16p a pint a bitter in 1972-3 In our local it was about 14p In working men's clubs in Durham in 1975 we used to ask for pint of mixed I remember being surprised at how much cheap it was than in a sheff pub. two bitters were on offer 12p a pint for one and 14p a pint for the other 13p for the mixed. Guessing it would be a little less between the dates you mention but not much, big brewery and tax man price hikes didn't start till a good few years after that. Found this: In 1952 the average weekly wage was £7.50 compared to £500 now. A pint of beer then cost 9 pence compared to £2.60 now so it took you twice as long to earn the price of a pint… - See more at: http://www.beergenie.co.uk/beer-occasions/jubilee-history/?age-verified=44ff307055#sthash.eHeujZW0.dpuf . http://www.beergenie.co.uk/beer-occasions/jubilee-history/?age-verified=44ff307055 . .

harvey19 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very interesting that link. I remember drinking black and tans(beer and Guinness). I also remember that if it was your turn to buy a round and someone wanted a short they gave you the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
