I will start off with my first pint, Ind Coope Drum Mild at 1 shilling and 10 pence! that was rounded up at decimalisation to just 10 new pence a pint, ten pints for a quid lol

I thought you had given up the drink and yet you talk about it ?

Watched an episode of Heartbeat earlier, and it got me remembering the old days, and trust me I mean OLD !
 










I remember paying 1s 4d for a pint of cider at the Alliance in Edward Street. That was when a pint of Tamplins Sussex Bitter was 1s 10d.

Post decimalisation, the lowest price I remember is 13p a pint - in Barnsley.

I think first time in a pub would have been c1992/93 aged 17 and i believe it cost around £1.70 for a pint of export

... which has set me thinking ...

What was the price of a packet of fags when you first started smoking? Two bob for twenty Number 6, if I remember rightly. Or was it four bob? I can't remember what I first paid for five Woodbines, though.

50p for twenty Rothmans... or 5p each!
