What a clever marketing trick and everyone is falling for it.
There was a story on the radio yesterday blaming it on a group of social media influencers making it popular.
No it's thick fucks like you on the radio giving them free publicity.
There's loads of Guinness just like there is loads of thick fucks.


Anyway Uncle Wally has already started a thread on it.

It doesn't matter anyway because...

My local whacked the price up by 60p a couple of month ago. £3.80 to £4.40.
I remember years back, if you'd put the price up by a penny or penny half penny, the vault would have kicked off good style.

A bit like KFC "running out of chicken" about a year ago, for a couple of days

No such thing as bad publicity

Gerald Ratner would disagree.

I can't stand the stuff, it'd put people off the drink.

To be sure to be sure.

Gerald Ratner would disagree.

Ohhh, I don't know.
He said a few items of Ratner's were "crap", so people spent a few quid more at a slightly more up-market store...... probably H Samuel's.

Guess who owned H Samuel.

As I said......

Add a little splash of blackcurrant cordial! Massive improvement.

This is the way I expect garages to go with fuel - reduce the price ever so slowly by a penny or tuppence, and then whack 60 or 70p on the day after.

Had four pints of the stuff on Monday night in 'Scruffy Murphys' pub, probably THE best pint of Guinness in Blackpool ... i slept like a baby that night!

Can we all pray it’s not true for Prime Mutton’s sake.

A huge chunk of the price is the Govts alcohol tax.
So how come 0° Guinness is the same price ?

They must be coining it in.

0% is a growing market and there is no discount for the consumer the robbing bastards.

Lol, it's probably just as well for him that this is his 'dry month', and he's rigidly sticking to water for the duration of it!

He would have been in my local after the Forest game otherwise (as he always is) , but he wasn't there, despite attending the match ....
