Those were the d’s
Siri play ”in the rare ould times”
That 99p really held in there
And you know some aul lad stood in front of that in 1995 and said “Almost two bleedin’ quid. What’s the fucking world coming to?”
He had no idea what was around the corner.
Without any context of percentage rise in accordance to inflation, it’s useless
My grand uncle used to love the pints. He was born in the 1910’s or so. He told us stories of when he was young and when the day came pints were 5 shilling he swore he’d never drink again. He did though! When pints got to £1 he changed his tune. “Wasn’t it a wonderful thing to have drank so many pints when they were so cheap”.
I’ve naturally robbed the phrase for my own kids, starting at the £1.30-50 pints!.
By my count, the price doubled after 6 years, 4 years, 44 years (!!!!).
Then after the switch to new money, doubled after 5 years, 5 years, 8 years…
1980 was a crazy year. 50% inflation in the price of a pint from Feb 1980 to Feb 1981
Pound a pint night in peigs in 1995. That was a pricey pub!
Would be nice to have a column of a rough hourly wage…
I wish I could go back to 1900 to invest in buying a pint for 3d then offer it to me mate now like here do ye want this man, it’s the good shtuff 🤑
Average industrial wage 1980 was 49 punts pw. So making sums easy and add a bit of rounding. So 50p was about one hundred of the pre tax total per week.
Average industrial wage now is about €1026 pw so divide €7 into that gets you 146. So in real terms the price of a pint is about 40% cheaper than 1980 (also allow a bit for the value of the punt against the Euro)…
So the point of this is that Guinness have a very good idea of what the market will bear…
1972 18p – Mar 1976 38p (4 years)
Mar 1976 38p – July 1981 77p (4 years 2 months)
July 1981 77p – Nov 1990 £1.53 (9 years 5 months)
Nov 1990 £1.53 – 2002 €3ish (12 years)
2002 €3ish – Today €6ish (23 years)
