'barmon, Its Heineken sir 50 pence a pint ( 1968)
me, Ayeandthacon, keep it at that price,'

I don't blame you tomplum for telling the barman to keep it.
Absolutely outrageous to charge ten bob for a pint of coloured water; probably served ice-cold, as well!
Possibly, the correct price should have been around two bob. Barman was either in the wrong decade or he was slipping a nice profit into his back pocket.
I am sure that you could have bought a pint of lager for around 50p in 1981 - and, the price had greatly increased in the years 1977 to 1983.
So, if we project that price difference to today's beer prices, it would be close to being charged ten quid for a pint by a barman. Not sure how much verbal he would get for even thinking about asking for a tenner for a glass of coloured water.
