In those days  no one had to take out a second mortgage to have a good night out so I dont think people were attracted to different pubs by competative prices like today.  IE. Yates, Witherspoons ect.

Isn't beer relatively cheaper these days than it used to be?

Is it? In relation to earnings or what?

 

i can’t see how alcohol increases have kept in line with earnings.

 

its trebled in 20 years.

It is in overall terms BUT......

 

the difference between pub and supermarket prices has widened to the point where something like a pint of a branded beer in a pub can be three times the price of a pint bottle of that same beer in a supermarket.

 

So buying a pint in a pub is proportionately more expensive than it was in the old days whereas buying a pint in a supermarket is proportionately cheaper than it was in the old days but overall, alcohol has got cheaper.

I was just thinking from a pub perspective I agree supermarket drink has got cheaper.

Well if you can get it cheaper than 7p a pint, go for it.lol.Just kidding but that was the price of a pint when I started out, one and fivepence in old money.

Dunno - when I had a job in a stores / warehouse in the mid 70's I brought home about £15 per week and beer was 15p a pint. The cost of pint has gone up nigh on twentyfold but wouldn't think the sort of job I did brings home anything like £300 pw.

 

Housing also used to take up a much smaller proportion of peoples income.

For the record its close enough.    Such level of work likely to be on NMW rate in 2019 amounts to £307 a week  (£277 after tax).

If you want to support a local brewery pub, go to the Nags Head in Loxley which is owned by the Bradfield Brewery and sells all the beers in their range for £2 a pint.

FYI,  it's been £2:50 a pint for about 9 months now, but it is quality beer and well worth it.
