The way to guage it is to look at prices up here and down there in the same chain. Spoons up here is the cheapest in the country and around half of the price in London.

The standard measure for these things is the cost of a pint and a wrap.
£22 in Spain apparently.

London more expensive obviously but then their pubs are miles better as well.
Shots fired!
I must be that bored.
Bloody love a diesel. Had some at weekend.

My local is £6.50 a premium pint in seaham, paying the same in Richmond, London. Something not right. The Ivy restaurant in Richmond not much more than most places in the town. Last time I was down here 8 year ago, remember paying £6.50 a pint in Kings cross, we paying that in most pubs up our way now.

As always it depends where you go and what you drink. For me £6.50 is a stupid price for any pint of anything. Whether that's in London or up here, I wouldn't pay it. I'd go elsewhere or drink something less "premium".
The price of a pint everywhere in the country has gone up 70% since 2008. A bit more than that in the pub in the link it would seem and that's two years ago
Good luck getting stabbed in London iirc there

Ah, I didn't mean to suggest it hadn't always been priced as a premium drink. Aye.
I wonder if its because rents and wages haven't really changed much, but the wholesale price of the beer is what has shot up - and that doesn't really change across the UK?

I think there are some differences - gyms, barbers / hairdressers, trades people as a few examples.
Housing is obviously the biggest one though.

I found the £19 a bit hard to believe. Looking it up though that is the price. £6.50 for one hour £19 for 3 and £35 for 8 hours.
They're also introducing parking leveys for companies that have more than 10 spaces. One school is going to have to pay £22,000 a year which they will pass on to staff. People are struggling to pay bills in the current climate but still they want more off you.
