I stay well out in the Shire in Scotland & some of the prices down my end for standard booze is a joke, none of this under £2 shite.
Random Questions: how much is a pint round where you live? name the price and the area. (student night special deals not included)

I think that's Wetherspoons everywhere in the country.if you read the post he wrote youd see it isnt. in the far north and scotland, wetherspoons are classed as expensive, even luxury alehouses.

in the south, wetherspoons is the lidl/netto/poundshop of the pub world. there is nowhere cheaper, they are full of old alkey soaks, who que outside waiting for them to open in the morning for their cheap beer.

alright your a liar. 
wetherspoons is the countries most succesfull pub chain due to the fact that they serve cheaper beer in every town in the country than any other chain of pubs or even the normal local (apart from the far north and scotland which is like another country anyway).
they rake in massive profits during any bad times this country goes through, when other breweries are collapsing and pubs are closing daily due to the fact people leave their local pub and go to wetherspoons to get value for money. (they even banned smoking before it was banned by law upsetting their core customer, cos they didnt give a fuck cos they know they wont and cant go anywhere else)
but not where you are, oh no, its not like that in bristol where the little lord of arguing is, they are the same price as all pubs, thats just how it is, the exception to the rule. (have you even been in a spoons or a pub?)

they make more profit on food than booze tho. Buy in steaks in mass amounts that works out at 7-10pence and sell them for a fiver or whatever it is and rake it in. (stating the obvious but still)
The thing is, no matter how much I hate the fucking place you cant argue with a pint and a curry for a couple of quid. I just cant be fucked with the low lifes you get in there..

Pint in my local - £2.60, Pint in my local Weatherspoons - £2.30
Weatherspoons is still generally cheaper than local pubs, but not as much as it used to be. A few years back you'd be looking at 70-80p a pint cheaper, now that's down to the 30-40p mark.
That's my experience from the North-West area anyways.

Edinburgh doesn't really count as Scotland according to some, but Wetherspoons here is much cheaper than the average pub, just like it's supposed to be. I still don't drink there before someone brings up that argument from a while ago.
Actually I've got so say the wetherspoons on george street in Edinburgh is a lovely pub, strange location as it's in one of the poshest areas of Edinburgh in a huge old bank.
Also, I'm surprised there isn't some kind of online map with the price of a pint in every wetherspoons in the country on it seeing as the price seems to be different in different spoons in London, let alone the whole UK. Seems the kind of thing someone would have done on the internet.

2.60-2.80 for lager and 3.40 for a Guinness just outside Leeds. Peroni at a local pub is almost £4 a pint. In Leeds you're looking at about £3.50 a pint of lager and £3.80 for Guinness. Not been in a Wetherspoons for years. If I'm that poor I have to drink in them I'll stay at home.
