A pint was only 69p a pint+ a packet of 20 Regal was only 80p, \"\" the good old day\'s\"\" I wonder If I can get it fixed,, It had a life time guarentee..But who\'s life time,, mine or Its??? might have to pop down & see those nice lads from Temples, & see what they can come up with , cheers Tich

I know the feeling well,the first pub I was served in was the Penthouse AT whitley Bays Spannish City,,, a pint was 48p and a pkt of 20 Regal was 52p thats a Quid in total for a pint&a pkt of 20tabs,,mind you I was only earning £32 a week.. Ist about £6.00 for the same nowadays, my wages have gone up a little since then though,,
