Mr. Sausages Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 And all the halfpennies make a nice tidy profit What else are they supposed to do? Would you be happier if they put price of a pint up by 2 pence, because it's divisible by 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 If there is one thing that enrages a man it is his pint of bitter being messed with or increased in it's price. Lager drinkers never seem to bother about taste or price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many pensioners like to go out for a beer or two and can probally only afford the halfpints, so by not increasing the cost of the halfpint would benefit the pensioners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarbunny Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 And all the halfpennies make a nice tidy profit God yes you are right...they sell 100 pints and make a whole £1....call the ombudsman its a scandal Hang on a minute when did they half the amount of pence in the pound??? 100x.5=50??? Many pensioners like to go out for a beer or two and can probally only afford the halfpints, so by not increasing the cost of the halfpint would benefit the pensioners if there buying 2 surely they should just buy a pint and save a penny, but to be honest having worked in far to many pubs on the island ive never meet a manx pensioner only have a half or two.

Hugh Jampton Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 And if the pint has a head on it like a "vicar's collar" return it for a top up. Bloody Northern measures!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
