30p!?!?!!? thats going it some! I can remember when our local went up from 49p to 50p (October 1982) . We thought it was the end of the world.....fortunately the landlord, canny fella that he was, announced it the day before it came into effect - reckon he had the best night's takings of his career that night!! I've often wondered if the hangover was worth the 8 or 9p we saved....

my union, the pints were between £2.20-£3.50....
