￡4 for a pint of beer next year?!
Beer was once the poor mans way of unwinding after a long hard day, and a welcome escape from the wife and kids, in a small establishment where he was free to smoke, drink and have a laugh with friends and strangers.
Currently around ￡2.20 a pint, the price is probably going to reach ￡4 according to the breweries due to;
(a).The kegs keep getting stolen and melted down for scrap.
(b). Fields are now being used for bio fuels instead of hops.
I suspect there is something more sinister here, as average wages have undoubtedly sunk in many parts of the UK, with a typical minimum pre tax hourly rate at around ￡5.75.
Do you think the government is secretly trying to ban alcohol, starting by costing it out of the market?
What next ?
Answers: What with smoking bans in public houses, with huge fines for those that even dare try to light up, and at worst a public flogging shortly to be announced by the Labour party early next year according to insiders, the price of beer is set to rise.
