    The Boat Inn
    Tripadvisor reviewer: “Two pints of cider, a bag of scratching [sic], a small bag of nuts cost nearly £16, up about £4 from last month. Sad, but we will no longer be using this pub.”

    Pub owner: “...two pints of Stowford at £5 each, a bag of nuts £1.75, and a bag of scratchings £2.75 (the cost of these have skyrocketed) comes to £14.50, £7.25 each and I think you would be shocked if you found out, after all of our costs how much we actually make out of your purchase."

    The journalist who cobbled together the article in the Coventry Telegraph refers to the reviewer as a "diner", and after spending £4.50 on some peanuts and some pre-used pig skin I am sure he would have dined very well.

    An innovative sales opportunity for craft breweries, or yet another kick in the teeth for pubs from supermarkets - what do we think?

    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
