Yeah but your wages was probably only 10 shillings. 3 and 6 or whatever it was back then…

I wasn’t even born

 

Did you steal this from FB

 

I remember it well!

 

Watney's barley wine was nip at the Sun Inn Barnes during my day. Double Diamond too.
Loved sitting around the pond passing a balmy evening in my youth with the young ladies from Roehampton college.

 

I’ll bet none of the beer was over 2% proof…

 

Yes

 

We used to drink in the sun when we lived in Sefton st off the lower Richmond Road

 

Bazza I sent you the WMC price list for when you visited next month, not for you to share it with everyone

 

Great little boozer that was just around the corner from the Jazz and folk pub. Can't remember it's name. Lovely part of London caressing the Thames.

Edit: Pub was the Bulls Head

 

Without taking inflation into account price lists like that are pretty meaningless so I checked on the BoE inflation calculator and that 10p pint is actually the equivalent of.....




...£1.20!

 

Lady Lasty spent 6 years living in Barnes , I frequented both on a regular basis although my favourite was The White Hart on the river up towards Mortlake - proper no frills (back then) pub

I used to fish the reservoir at Barnes back in the 70s/80s

 

Sam smiths norfern price list..

 

Wow..

And everyone was making a profit, now pubs are closing at a rate of knots..

 

The beer was carp then ...if they served that up now they would still only be worth that price . Magnet ,Harp ,Carlsberg .
Good god ....you needed that many pints to get p....d, you spewed up before it could ever happen .

 

Im sure double diamond, party 7 etc were terrible beers.

But people knew no different..

 

Few of us used to buy a couple of party 7’s and sit on the beach at weymuff, and drink them as young Skinheads, then jump off the old pier ( gone now). Happy days.
