Re: The £4 Pint
 

Economically speaking, its cheaper to drink petrol.

At £1.04 for a litre of unleaded, thats a mere 59p a pint!

Until petrol hits £1.60 a litre it is still cheaper (pint for pint) than £2.80 for a pint of Kronenbourg.

oddly the price in supermarkets is as cheap as I've ever seen it, practically giving the stuff away.
Ahh, its all imported.

In the paper today was a story saying beer brewers (by this I think they were referring to ale though they weren't specific) are possibly going to call for tax exemption given that on every pint they currently make £0.07 profit per pint, while the government takes over £0.30 in tax per pint.

I'll drink to that! ;)

You seem to have forgotten that this is a no fun country!

Look at the margins on petrol - they'd make you sick! :smt103
