Bottle of coke £2.40. Not that syrup out the pump, proper glass bottle!

Highway robbery...must cost all of 5p to make

All prices on this thread are a rip off...three quid for a beer...they can stuff it.

When i was delivering the "real thing" in Germany, 1977ish the glass bottles were more valueable than the contents.
I having a rest from Teachers and Bells tonight, i've just been up Tesco garage before the shut and came back with a bottle of Strongbow and a pack of three, Llint easter eggs that is 3 for £1, i refuse to buy Cadburys anymore because of the lies and the way the stitched us up when they were bought out a few yrs ago.

Meths £4 a gallon and you get to keep the container

Well i think its ok for a pub to charge more if the pub is clean,tidy,warm,has nice seats,STAFF,music if You want , free nibbles,a snug for snogging and rooms upstairs for (well you know what).

I was in an establishment today and the fosters was £4.99 @ pint and it was flat/no bubbles,luckily enough my credit card did not work in their card reader by the time they came back to tell me i had as much of the flat pee i could drink.i did not care any more.

Attempting to pay for goods with no means of payment is theft...............

£3 a pint that's £24 a gallon.
Considering the vast majority of the stuff is water, how can the price of beer be four times that of Petrol. The recovery, processing and transportation costs of petrol are surely far higher than Beer. If we were asked to pay £24 a gallon for petrol then I think there would be some violent reaction from all quarters.
I realise volume and production costs are significant but beer four times the cost of Petrol. I fear another rip off is going on somewhere,

Whats the duty on alcohol?

Whats the duty on alcohol?

Say 80% for fuel tax so so petrol production costs say £1.20 or 30p a pint, so how can beer cost 10 times the cost of petrol. Duty on beer I have no idea but surly the cost of producing beer can't be in the region of 10 times petrol bearing in mind the exploration costs and recovery and refinery and transportation costs of Oil. Even with the tanker delivery drivers earning £45,000 a year.
The tax/duty on fuel makes the comparison to beer costs even worse.
