LOL, you should go to Gatwick Airport then - the hotel beer is £4.80 a pint, and a glass of wine with dinner (admittedly a decent size glass) sets you back £8 !
..another reason why pubs are going to the wall, we've lost so many pubs round here, people can't afford to drink out these days, when the supermarkets are offering beer etc at discount prices.
We shouldn't talk about Boddingtons in Manchester - they sold the brewery and the "cream of Manchester" is made in a ghastly industrial plant far away now!
It was decent stuff, but I've not tasted it since they sold out/
