Know what you mean about the piss take on prices. I don't tend to drink in my local's, as quote frankly, they tend to be full of idiots, so I'll go drinking up the road in Stoke, but that means either using public transport and coming home early, or driving, so being on Pepsi all night, so you think paying the price you do for alcohol is bad, wait till you've paid over a pound for a 330ml can, or £3 in Birmingham for a 500ml bottle!
Mind you, the prices in Weatherspoons is relatively cheap, but unless you go with a bunch of friends, there's no atmosphere. I'd rather pay a little bit extra, and have a landlord make that extra effort in ensuring I and other enjoy ourselves, after all, that's what a pub is there for.
