Do you actually like football or just kits?

Was about 60p a pint when I started. 50p if you drank the local brewery bitter.

Feel like I'm being mugged these days when I buy a pint.

First pint I bought was about 50p. Used to be able to spend a fiver and have 5 pints, buy a 20 packet of Marlboro, play pool all night, listen to loads of songs on the jukebox and still have money for chips on the way home.

I think the fact that the price for a pint of beer where I grew up has gone from £2.50 to over £5 in my drinking lifetime clouds my view more than Sainsbury's.

Cheaper the better of course but most cities are now somewhere between 4 and a bit over 5 quid I would say, for a decent beer of course. I would rather drink water than s***ty Carling or Fosters etc.

My local near work in a sleepy Durham village is now charging £4.40 a pint for Moretti which has the locals in uproar but Im ok with that. I got charged nearly £7 (I think) for a pint of Vedett at the Head of Steam in Newcastle a while back that I thought was extortionate.

It all depends I guess. But supermarket prices perhaps cloud our views on what is acceptable or not.
