Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Been a while since I got a pint for under £5

I managed to get one for £4.70 the other day, cheapest I’ve seen in a while outside of Spoons. Mind that this was at a tiny DIY music venue nowhere near London though.

Londoners looking at this article in utter confusion

Has anyone got a pint for less than a fiver - outside of a weatherspoons - for the past 10 years? And, no, I don't live in London.

Yeah, plenty. Very much depends where you are in the country; whether it's a cool bar, an old man pub, or a spoons-like; and if you're going for a fancy pint or generic mass-produced lager.

You are almost certainly correct

Edit: probably pertinent to say I live in Edinburgh that gets some of the London contagion
