Price of Beer

[Lawrencej974]

What was the price of a pint of beer in 1955

[Quizmonster]

Obviously prices varied according to the beer and the area it was bought in, but you could buy a pint in the mid-50s for about 1/9...that's one shilling and ninepence in old money, equivalent to about nine pence today.

Bought my first pint in the mid sixties for 1s 3d in the Manchester area.

I started drinking in 1976 (underage) and it was 43p a pint (in the **** Inn in Harlow).

I remember buying a pint of light and bitter in the Van Damme in Chatham in 1979 - not getting change from 50p and thinking "if it goes up any more I will stop drinking" - how wrong I was

In 1972 when I was a first year apprentice I got 6 pints lager and had 10p change from a pound ( 15p a pint )

I have just niticed that the two posts where I tried to say the name of the first pub I drank in were banned. It makes the name in the remaining post look really stuptd - as if I was swearing. It was a pub named after a male chicken, that rhymes with lock, is an anagram of occk. AND is not a swear word especially used in this context - This is censorship carried to extreems
