It was always coming, the plus-£10 pint. That’s how capitalism works: money goes up in lots of ways, including the price of things that affect “normal people” most.
I’m trying to find a way to blame the tech bros-cum-incels in Silicon Valley for the soaring cost of pints in London, because they must’ve had an impact, surely? They have all the money. There is hardly any left for the rest of us.
