Strange drug associations

Aye warrier....for your premium brands like Embassy, Marlboro, B&H, Silk Cut etc. They're bang around the tenner mark. The more obscure brands that no one has ever heard of (the kind you wouldn't touch with a bargepole 10 years ago) are a bit cheaper but not much.

I keep buying the odd 10 but mainly stick to my ecig nowadays.

Shit, wasn't that long ago I stopped buying Marlboro lights as they broke the seven quid barrier, so £3 + a pint and a tenner for fags and the minimum wage is under £7 an hr:(

We'll just have to keep it to no more than 10 fags and 1 pint per hour and forget about such luxuries as rent, food etc... :)

I can remember when I first started smoking at 15 and would use my £1 dinner money to but 10 fags and still have change for a Mars bar or something to make sure I didn't starve... I need to find the old farts nostalgia thread!!

Aye its scary the amount of people I know who can't afford to go out anymore, its all supermarket booze these days and I don't blame them.
 
Its just that the price of booze and fags seems to be rising so much faster than income. When I was a student 20 years ago I would often go out on cheap notes with £20 in my pocket and fair enough wages have risen since then in general but by nowhere near the same amount.

A night out almost has to be planned for in advance the way a holiday is in that its something you save for rather than just a spur of the moment thing like it used to be. £100 for a night out in a fairly big city is more the norm these days when you factor in food, taxis , club admission etc....

In another 10-15 years the whole idea of the pub will be confined to old farts nostalgia altogether. ....maybe even sooner ..

It already is mate... I visit a lot of pubs in my line of work (no, no, honestly, I am working) and they're like ghost towns these days - unless they're a big chain 'family' pub/restaurant. The local boozer is dying a long, slow painful death which started with the advent of the 'whine bar' (sic) in the 80s...
 
Pub culture as a whole is dying out,even in the village I live in 2 pubs and a Miners welfare are all at least 70% down over the past 5 years, population of nearly 7000 and i've seen one of the pubs close at nine on a Saturday as there were no customers.

They are closing at the rate of 1500 a year.

Pubs or licensed establishments?

Culture and society change, always have always will, I miss it, going into the local and usually a wide mix across the board, age gender and economic activity. Seems like a lot of places are aiming for a specific clientele as the market diminishes.
 
Pub's are being slowly removed from the populace as these were places where people met and talked about stuff - started reveloutions,organised strikes, etc etc tis a conspiracy i tells thee
 
"pubs" are being replaced by cool bars with wooden floors and barrel seats, and bottles of beer that cost £4.50, trust me I live in chorlton there's atleast 20 places like that here.
