00:00Ridiculous. I've got a fridge pack of beer in there. It cost me ÂŁ8.
00:05I was just away for the weekend celebrating my dad's 80th birthday.
00:10This pub on the corner charges ÂŁ7 for a Guinness.
00:14And when I got to Reading, I had to wait for my father because he was stuck in traffic.
00:17ÂŁ7.20 for one pint, and I've just bought ten cans for a pound more than that.
00:21I mean, personally, I don't drink, so thankfully it doesn't affect me, but it is a lot more expensive.
00:27I used to come on holiday and trips down here a few times a few years ago before moving,
00:31and it's almost like double the price for a lot of places.
00:34Glasgow's quite cheap for drink, I would say.
00:36You don't think it when you live there, but comparing it to London, it definitely is a lot cheaper.
00:40It's absolutely ridiculous. I know there's been the National Insurance strikes gone up, hikes.
00:46You can't vape. I mean, the disposable vapes are outlawed now.
00:50That's going to hit them as well, I think.
00:52But if they don't lower their prices or at least do meal deals like Witherspoons do,
00:56they're going to close. Left, right and centre. I've seen so many close.
