Here are the figures - all for a pint of Batemans XB in The Red Lion, Nettleham, Lincs.
- 2nd August 1985 - £0.68
- 2nd August 1993 - £1.36
- 26th August 2012 - £2.90
Anyway, let's knock off VAT and the prices are:
- £0.59
- £1.16 (97% increase in 8 years)
- £2.41 (108% increase in 19 years)
If we start with the £1.36 price in 2993, it should now be £2.30
I'm not quite sure what my point is, but it's probably something like "How the hell do I remember the price of beer?" I'm also a little disconcerted that I remember VAT rates too.
