£1.34 a pint of Mild at The Manor House last week - given a fortnight previously I'd been fleeced for £4.65 at a central London pub, I was tempted to stay all afternoon.

Is that cheap for Greater Manchester? In early CAMRA days Manchester was definitely cheaper then the West Midlands. Today in the Great Western, one of Holden's more expensive pubs the 3.7% mild was £2.60 and the 5.1% Special £2.90. Obviously the CAMRA discount makes an enormous difference.

That's not right at all - the Sam's prices for draught beer are still relatively cheap in London (but not comparable to 'spoons, away from the main railway stations and Heathrow), but much higher than in Yorkshire, and the bottled beers are amongst the most expensive anywhere 'down South'...
We pay what ever it costs if you are unaware of price prior to walking through the door... I've been in a £12 round for 2 pints of lager in Gloucestershire that probably rips the shit out of most of London.
Ah right.. Seems I wasn't reliably informed then. I do like their stuff though (not sure about cask but everything else seems fine), so i'll seek them out when i'm next in London.
Samuel Smiths have got quite a few pubs in London,i have been in 34 and i know of a few more i have not done.
If you want to find their pubs in Central London go to Fitzrovia i have done 7 there.
They dont do the same prices across the board.in West Yorkshire it is usually £1.80 for a pint of OBB,but it London it will be a lot more expensive than that.
We are all equal,but some are more equal than others
