I went to a bar in the Czech Rep they had Guinness draughts. Thought I'd try a drop. A drop is all I got. 89kc about 3 pound 50 for 0.25 of a litre. Barman thought it crazy too. Went back to Czech lager for 1 pound 50 for half a litre.
I once as a young man of 12 years old drove 12 wild cattle very early one morning and on my own to Ballindibne fair, i stayed around most of the day trying to keep those animals together and later walked them back for the owner whom I met at the fair as he walked around with a large meat sandwich and a pint of Guinness, I had no money so I did not eat all that long morning, day and until I got back to my home later that night, Yet I never blamed the owner as I know him to be a kindly man but he had forgotten about me, I never felt hunger in all my life, and yet that was only for a very short time, millions of people all over the world go to bed hunger because of lack of food
@jamesbradshaw3389 you really need to write a book about your memoirs. Truly . Thankyou for your balanced thoughts you really remind me of my Dad, he was a good man too x
@@Janet4021Thank you Janet that is very generous and kind of you to say, I would not be able to write a book as my stories are mostly very short plus as you can see I do not write very well because of being dyslexic. Thank you again and I wish you all the very best
@@jamesbradshaw3389i wish you all the very best too James, I work in social care please don't ever apologise for dyslexia it makes you unique x You write that book...short stories because you make a lot of us smile and laugh in the kindest way x
Brings back memories of a less complicated world we had little to worry about then. I remember my own father swearing under every saints name he’d give it up if it went up another penny.
My first trip to Ireland in 1992, a pint of Guinness was 1.80 in Dublin and even less in the country pubs...I was thrilled because a draft Guinness back home in the U.S. was $6 for an American pint.
The wife has been bugging me for a couple of years now to visit Dublin and the prices are just astronomical. There is no way I'm paying 3 thousand euros for a week in Dublin. Last time I visited in the 90s it was so cheap.

great pub back in the day .Paddy and Maureen great people.Some old friends of mine shown here that have passed away ,may they rest in peace.
Where's the 41 years gone?
I wish I could time travel. I would go back and have a pint with these lads.
They weren't serving pints. That's literally what the article was about.
😂😂😂 you'll have a half litre ...and like it....

I bet they all drove home happy as Larry! 😜
😂 those were the days,
The cars were much stronger in those days 😂

Where in America were you paying $6 for a pint in 1992? It wasn't even anywhere near that when I lived in NYC in 2012.
Very few places you can get a pint for less than a 5 euro note ❤
NYC 10 dollars.
HANOI- 80 CENTS😂
Great wee craic in Ballindine. Good man Eugene.
Seems one sharp man that barman.
God be with the days..Had three pints last night for just under 20 euro..20 euro would have put me in hospital back then😄
Gas watching The Guinness representative sloshed and talking shite 😢😢😢😢
That’s his job and very serious one too. He’s like a bishop on an ecumenical mission. Concerned about his flock
I wish I bought a pint in 1983 it would now be worth £8.00, I could really enjoy knowing how much I had saved.
My neighbor is a wine expert and brewer and thanks to these videos he's going to make me a porter or at least try lol
Sad to see the Pub culture almost gone in rural Ireland culture change.
00:36 Rolf Harris is delighted
Is that Gerry Adams?
It’s a Fiver a Pint Now.
Price of drinking is killing the pubs and many Irish pubs are closing
That was the problem and still is the people of Ireland allowed this budget shit from the government 🤬🤬🤬

Avoid Dublin. For a so called ‘capital’, it’s a disgusting, overpriced mess.
The scans! ....Could drink f all anyway.
Shrinkflation!
Simpler time's ☺️
Lucky to get a pint for less than €10 nowadays in the big towns.
old working class pubs usually cheapest and best quality
BS. On average across Ireland, the price of a pint is €5 to €5.50. It may be €10 at the Westbury.
@@AndreyRubtsovRU mine: brew my own. At this point, why not?
@@BigBlack81 to each is own, sure. Social aspect seems to be a big part of it for you guys (if you are uk based that is)
@@AndreyRubtsovRU USA based and born, but yeah, social would play a part.
Loved the pints being 'built' next to him 😂
I wonder how much a pint is now Dublin temple bar is 10 euro a pint 😢
It's clear no one knows how inflation works in the comments 😂. Maybe lay off the drink.
And the pubs still going but different name
The fuckin state of our country and pubs now
I see harp lager is making a big comeback in de border Countys.
It's a nice refreshing drink.
Jaysis the craic is mighty can james Bradshaw tell another story
2:49 yikes
Jump to the future and in some pub in London £8.00 a pint of Guinness.
Alco's all.
Not at all, nobody was one back then. A few managed to be drunks..
