The TX Gallente Earth Inc. Zeta Tau Epsilon	Posted - 2008.06.28 12:59:00 - [1] I agree with this thread. You know the coke they serve in pubs etc is carbonated water and a weird sticky gel stuff that adds the color and flavour? it costs very little to make a soft drink in a pub - so any price above ú2 is probably a rip off imo.

If you take that on face value then that you are foolish. The syrup they use to make the drinks is very cheap to make, but its not the pubs making the money it's the drinks companies. Fair 'nuff, but it IS still a rip-off and a turn off. Please don't accuse me of being a fool - my point still stands - soft drinks are cheap to make and expensive to buy - same result for the consumer -> unhappiness. and Happy Cat needs his Happy. -------------------- [Signature] [/Signature]

The syrup is not cheap to buy, and so it doesn't cost very little to make a soft drink in a pub. That's all I'm saying ya'know? ok, scrap the 'in a pub' bit. it costs very little to make a soft drink. soft drinks are overpriced.

We now live in the year 2008, yet landlords still continue to fit out their pubs to look like they were built in the victorian times, for the best part this "was" a good idea, but I think people (especially younger people 20's and 30's) are not feeling they are being catered for, this has also added to an increase in people going to what some consider "trendy" wine bars etc, i'm not saying pubs have to look like wine bars but a bit of discreet modernisation can go a long way. Hay i'm 19 and I love the design of an old time pub. Ok I know that 95% of the time it's just a Victorian style mockup inside a modern building however I much prefer it to a bar that looks new and modernist. Also " pubs declining" where? this is the first I've heard of there being fewer publicans about. Everywhere I look in my local town your never more than a quarter of a mile away from a respectable pub. Really the only decline we need to be concerned about is the decline in real ale. That is an end must be brought to this nonsensical canned lager! Bring back good taste to your beer men beer beer!, i mean, hear hear!

Unless things have changed drastically in the last 5 years Xrak is correct - I used to be bar manager in a pub and know for a fact that it costs between 7 and 10 pence for the Postmix syrup, water and CO2 that goes to make up a half pint of coke. Pubs have always made most of their money from soft drinks. Eh? so you DON'T agree with him then surely, cuz he said the syrup is NOT cheap. I'm confused.

TBH, I have no sympathy for the smokers on this debate. I don't wanna **** off any smokers here, but I really don't think it's fair that us non-smokers used to have to breathe your smoke - I think the situation today is brilliant. Apart from the fact that everyone crowds around teh doors and smokes and we have to walk through a thick smog of cancer to get into the pub..... lol.. -------------------- [Signature] [/Signature]
