If it's true, it'll be the death knell for even more pubs over here. One might wonder if there are similar rises being implemented in the UK?

Like Bud Light maybe they’ll be hiring a famous Manx tranny yet to push the brand and then they’ll have half of Peel shooting crates of Okells with shotguns in disgust.

In my case I'm probably paying for the location next to the sea. Was rammed yesterday (Good Friday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only H&B has pubs by the sea and on quaysides maybe they would flourish lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 A 30% rise confirmed by my friendly local landlord who I've just bumped into, as notified to them by the brewery. I'm just trying to project forward a bit wondering what life is going to be like here in the near and medium future, people scared to put their heating on, scared to use their lights, cookers, washing machines and hoovers, further hobbled by big hikes in Govt taxes and charges and even drowning the sorrows becoming a gold-plated luxury. Not an attractive picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an attractive picture. It’s already happening. I was talking to a relative on a modest pension yesterday. Just had their gas bill that’s normally around £350, was £900 this time round so basically now using their savings to keep warm. Rates gone up by around £100 too and concerned what the MUA is going to deliver for electricity. This inflation is just stealing wealth off people. What are they going to do when their modest savings have all been spent just keeping warm? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
