change out of a fiver for 2 pints

Today me and the gang .( 3 other bored cyclists) can't ride for obvious reasons, decided to get a train to Liverpool, had a walk round the centre in the museums and went into the , Captains table for late lunch/early tey, Its a wetherspoons so, reasonable charges, we all had a meal and a drink which came to roughly a tenner per person, then we got chatting and decided to stay in the warmth for a while longer so went to the bar for 2 pints, one for Tony and one for myself, the other 2 had coffee and thats free once you pay for one you can have as many as you please , I aked the bar tender for two pints of bitter and he said " £2.70 please" so I said to him, " no Two pints "and put two fingers up thinking that. my accent had not confused the lad and he replied, " that is for Two pints sir"
I nearly fawd over

I love Liverpool Me,

I bet that made a change from paying between £3 and£5 a pint round here

Yes it Did, I was in your old watering hole yesterday Peter, The bowling club at Mick Jones's funeral and it was £6 for 2 pints,,Tell thee what, I've never seen as many in that club before, It was packed like London tube train at wom time,

Tom it is still my watering hole but pay £3-60 for two 330ml bottles (for coloured water) double zero lager because I still go in the car.Only found out about Mikes demise yesterday .May he rest at peace

Missed you posting on Warriors topics!

Went round Liverpool Saturday paying £5+ for a pint of bitter

I drove past what is now called 'Sheringtons' one night this week. I cant remember the exact day? It was about 8.00 pm I couldn't believe it There were people sat outside it was FREEZING, drinking beer at extortionate prices. When they could get a choice of beers 100 yards up the road and sat inside. in the warm. for half the price I've come to the conclusion that these [people are of the same ilk that frequented the Cherry Gardens 30/40 years ago Who thought they were a CUT ABOVE us mere mortals So they could say out loud "OH IVE JUST BEEN IN THE CHERRIES." Use to hear that numerous times around town at weekends.

Admin there are a few people who because they visit an establishment or drive a fancy motor think they are better than anybody else. But if you cut them they will bleed so they are no different than you or me

There's a small bar in Hindley called Bar Three near the Bird lights and It's £2 a pint and its a decent drink too It goes up to £2.50 at night.

peter g,is that what used to be a pet shop at the side of the old tory club.

Yes it is sonlyme

You're paying for the ambience when you're using pubs like the Cherry Gardens.
