Traditionally Stockton had all day opening on a Wednesday with it being a market town. It was always a good day out!I wonder why it was full on Wednesday and the craic good. Different sports on TV, no lunch menu, no music.
That's true, and of the elder group are keeping the tradition going. I put my head in the Stag and there were already a few in there but it was. Horse racing only.Traditionally Stockton had all day opening on a Wednesday with it being a market town. It was always a good day out!
I haven't been out in Stockton for years... I hope the revamp works for Stockton. Such a shame it nosedived after the 90sThat's true, and of the elder group are keeping the tradition going. I put my head in the Stag and there were already a few in there but it was. Horse racing only.
By the way, isn't Stockton improving. Not a lot of money about but there's some independents making a real fist of it.
£15-£20 for fags?Be thankful that the money you pay to eat and drink hasn't risen as much as house prices.
If grocery prices had increased at the same rate as house prices since 1971, then:
- A 4-pint carton of milk would cost £10.45
- A chicken would cost £51.18
- A bunch of 6 bananas would cost £8.47
- A box of 6 eggs would cost £5.01
- A loaf of sliced white bread would cost £4.36
- A leg of lamb would cost £53.18
- The average weekly expenditure on food for a family of four would be £453.23.
That was from 7 years ago. They're now saying a chicken would be £70.
Fags have gone from under a fiver to £15-£20.
And most chillingly a fredo now costs 25p.
Bass?Not necessarily better, fad perhaps.
£2.20 a pint in The Sun in Stockton last week. Popped in to watch the cricket, still recovering.
1/8d my lowest.1/10d a pint in the Forum bar Billingham. Newcastle Exhibtion. I was under age mind you.
I always enjoyed going to Stockton rather than Middlesbrough and that was in the 80’s. It always had a better atmosphere in the pubs.That's true, and of the elder group are keeping the tradition going. I put my head in the Stag and there were already a few in there but it was. Horse racing only.
