🍺 PUBS ARE SO EXPENSIVE: PART 3 🍫

Ok, let’s look at this again in the only way that EVERYONE understands the economy…

⏳ Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p.
🤩 One hour of work got you 50 Freddos!

Now fast forward to June 2026…

⏳ Minimum wage is £12.71 and a Freddo is 35p.
😢 One hour of work will now only get you 36 of them!

That's a 152% rise in pay but a 250% rise in the cost of delicious frog shaped chocolate bars! 📈

If wages had kept pace with the price of Freddos, the minimum wage would now be £17.68 an hour! 💸

By comparison:

⏳ Minimum wage in 2005 would get you two pints of beer per hour
⏳ Now, in June 2026, it will get you about 2.5 pints!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: pubs are not expensive. 📣

The cost of living is horrific. The external pressures on all of our finances right now are soul-destroying. We get it. Everyone is fu***ng skint. Everyone is struggling! 😰

But stop blaming pubs.

We are not being “greedy”.

Most landlords are earning less than ever - personally I earn less than £6ph for the hours I work, and I know a lot of publicans earning even less! 😔

We are effectively subsidising you being able to have a pint!

Because if I charged what I needed to, to earn a decent wage myself, I’d be selling beer at £12 a pint right now! 💸😢

TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW!👇👇👇
Because I’m, somehow, still getting the “but, they ARE expensive because…” comments! 🙄
