First underage pint, purchased by the biggest of us school kids that was sent to the bar with the cash was I recall 1 shilling and 10 pence. When inflation took it over 2 shillings (that is 10p for you youngsters) nearly stopped drinking!

Should say I won't be in for a day or two as residing in the sanitorium with a very nasty dose of gastro entiritus, or something like it. Not pleasant and feel very poorly - Missus won't even give me scotch:(
I remember when going "up the City", as Coventry City was universally known back then, was £4...
£4 wouldn't even buy you a Sausage Roll in the concourse now!
Oracle are you hiding from me???
Not hiding in here Stagger. But please note the 'no politics' sign over the bar. Any of that nonsense, and Bytey will toss you out on your ear!
Religion, politics and one other are the scourge of any masters lounge.
Wonder where the devil he is?
Well another peaceful day.
Just called in for a cold lager shandy after my round of golf at Skipton. A nice part of the world.
I think he's taking a little time out, sore throat. You remember the other evening when he was sat at the bar holding forth about everything from your golf clubs to my fishing reels, didn't stop talking for 5 hours?
Well that comes at a price and this time he has a sore throat and lost his voice.
I'm sure he will be back in soon once feeling better, but for gods sake don't ask his opinion on something again!
Whisky and coke please. Grouse please.
Have you taken a wrong turn Stagger? Shouldn't you be in the Airport Lounge on the way to Turkey!
