1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,519 Speaker 1: Bit of a to do over beer on the price 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: of this is the Church Pub in christ Church. A 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: pint is sixteen bucks and that's about as bad as 4 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: school lunches that aren't Hilal certified. It is the proper 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: pints debate, of course, a pint is five hundred and 6 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: seventy five meals as opposed to say four to twenty 7 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: five or four seventy five. Anyway, Dickinson is the co 8 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: owner of this particular establishment and as well as Nick. 9 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: Good morning to you. 10 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, morning, Mike. 11 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: Is this really a thing to people front you with this? 12 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Or has this been sort of a social media pile 13 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: on or how's this all come about? 14 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? No, not at all. I haven't had any complaints. Really. 15 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: I had a reporter last week text me and asked 16 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: me why am my points of sixteen dollars? And I 17 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: just text back saying why it was been reported in 18 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: the paper. 19 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: So the reporter text you, presumably somebody winged or something. 20 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: What is so a pint? So this is easily sold 21 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: a pint. I thought it was six hundred myself because 22 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: of Britain. 23 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: Correct, But so when we're based off well like the 24 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: English I grew up drinking pints of milk, which was 25 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: six hundred milk, right, So a pint of beer has 26 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: always been a little bit less at five cent five, 27 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: and that's the point we sell and to get GP 28 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: on that, it's got to be sixteen dollars exactly. 29 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: And then having said that, so you you would know that, 30 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't you, because five to seventy five is materially different 31 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: from four to twenty five in terms of size and 32 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: weight and what you get. 33 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: I hear more people injured about getting a five four 34 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: to twenty five and saying this is not a pint, 35 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: but then they're not. They're paying twelve dollars, so they're 36 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: just thinking they're getting a better deal. But it's actually 37 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: the same. 38 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: It's like for like, so you're five to seventy five 39 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: at sixteen is the same at four to twenty five 40 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 1: and whatever it is correct, So the meals per back buck, 41 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: it's exactly the same. 42 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: Price, exactly the same. I mean, it's a clever way 43 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: of doing it for a bar, not to trick the consumer, 44 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 2: but you're sort of you're giving them a smaller pint. 45 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: And the pints are quite clever today, Like they do 46 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: look like a pint that they're actually one hundred and 47 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: mill less and they're able to charge your twelve thirteen dollars. 48 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: So consumer thinks they're paying a reasonable price or a pint, 49 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: but actually it's not a pint of beer, which should 50 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: be five to seven. 51 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Because in my experience, which is limited admittedly having drunk 52 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: pints in Britain, you know what you're dealing with. It's 53 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: a big bit of beer, isn't it. 54 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: Correct? Yeah, I mean there's certain days where you don't 55 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: feel like a point and you probably wouldn't mind a 56 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: four twenty five. But if you're ordering a pint of beer, 57 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: I mean I've always believed that historically you should begin 58 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: to pint which is five to five, and obviously you 59 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: have to have the price that goes with it. 60 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: Exactly. Give me your insight into the hospital scene generally, 61 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: seeing I've got to you. Are things good, good, ish, brilliant? 62 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Look the Cross which is in a good space. 63 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five. It's started reasonably well except for the 64 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: easterly when we've been getting every day. But I think 65 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: twenty six next year is looking really good for us. 66 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, just got to hold on tight and keep 67 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: keep saving those pints and keep playing. I love music 68 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: and keep the doors open. 69 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: Good on your mate, We'll go well with appreciate your time. 70 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: Ni Kingster, the church pub owner in Glosterstreet.
