00:00I don't think it's fair on the people that's going into it, do you know what I mean?

00:03The locals that used to have the normal price and the other ones were just walking off the street.

00:08Well, what do you think? Well that's what I think anyway.

00:12The regulars, no, because they're there all year round, do you know what I mean?

00:16I think that's right. It should be the same price all the time.

00:19I think that's absolutely nonsense.

00:21If in fact electric companies, power companies did that,

00:27maybe that makes sense, but not for pubs and clubs or whatever.

00:34In fact, there's a pub that I go to that I can still get a pint or cider for £1.99, believe it or not.

00:41Whereabouts is that?

00:43It's in Hope Street and I'm not telling you the name yet.

00:46I don't know, it should be the same price all the time.

00:50It shouldn't be that this time of the year or a certain time of the year,

00:54it should be the same price all the way round.
