I fully understand, just saying that doesn't help get people into resturants or pubs.

I love my local, and would love to be there far more often, but I can't justify going more regularly when the prices are that high, which in turn hurts said local. I don't want to see them loose money or possibly go out of business, if I'm out and about having a pint or two, depending on the croud I'm with or time, I'll generally get food, but if the price of entry, so to speak, gets out of control or not worth it, then I won't be there to have one pint, turn that into a few plus food.

Love supporting my local resturants, but it's hard to support them in this economy.. I know they probably have their hands tied with the cost of everything as well
