I wouldn't have posted it if I thought everyone would get all po-faced.
Yeah, but surely a joke has a funny bit somewhere.

Perhaps the data could be used to produce a mapping of the banding used by JDW in structuring its pricing in various places, if I have time I might look at pricing between JDWs in the same city or adjacent towns, arguably of more use.
Indeed. I was surprised just how cheap the IKB in Portsmouth was when compared to a typical London 'spoons, but the disparity between Portsmouth and London pubs is nothing like as great.

At the risk of being po-faced I clocked onto Bengali as being good value years ago and still occasionally order two cans and a pint glass if I don't care for any of the guest ales. His findings don't take into account the multi-buy option of three cans of 5.6% Black Sheep Pathmaker for a fiver which is roughly a litre or two short pint measures. It doesn't account for higher abv guests either. I was happy as Larry today in Glasgow's Hengler's Circus knocking back pints of Oakham Green Devil at £2.25. Glaswegians seem to have the taste for this beer as it seems to be a regular in the State Bar across the road and in the smaller JDW near Glasgow Central.

Saw a food programme today where they were trying to save money.They looked at a Mcspoons in Liverpool where fish and chips were £9.50 but the bargain hunter took them on a 6 minute walk to another Mc spoons where the same meal deal was £6.95.

I bet the expensive one was the Lime Street station based North Western. The typical; going rate for Fish Friday is now just under £7.50 which includes an alcoholic drink which can be Punk IPA. My recollection of Liverpool City Centre Spoons is that the food prices are fairly standard. I'll find out next week!
