The post I never wanted to do. It’s with the greatest sadness that our very own Rik has passed away. He fought so hard right until the end but he needs to rest now. You could light a room up before you even walked in, if anyone needed anything you had it, the pride and love you had for your fishing trips in your van, your family and friends was endless. Oh Rik you’ve left many of us broken but you rest easy now. The perfect gentleman Goodnight and god bless

Right. Apparently, pubs are “too expensive.” 😬🥵💰 I hear it every day. 🤯 Usually from someone clutching a £6 artisan coffee, scrolling TikTok on a £1,200 phone, while explaining how £6 for a pint is daylight robbery. 💎 But sure. The pub is the problem. 👌 Let me explain this slowly… You’re not paying £6 for “beer”! 🍺 You’re paying for an experience, for a community, for… 💸 The heating being on before you arrive. 💸 The lights staying on after you leave. 💸 The loos being scrubbed (you’re welcome). 💸 The glasses being washed. 💸 The staff being paid. 💸 The licences. The insurance. The rates. The tax. 💸 The little bite the card machine takes every single time you tap. 💸 And the fact that when the cellar floods at 11pm on a Tuesday… it’s me in wellies. You’re not just buying a drink. 🍷 You’re renting a space to exist in public without being moved on. To socialise. To make friends. To feel welcome. To belong. ❤️ Go and sit in the middle of ASDA for three hours debating VAR and see how long that lasts. Try getting banter from a self-checkout. 😅 Pubs aren’t competing with supermarket booze. 🛒 We’re competing with the idea that community should be free. 🏘️❤️ And here’s the bit I find fascinating… The same people who mourn “the death of the British pub” are the ones who treat us like overpriced off-licences. 🍾 We don’t sell beer. 🍺 We sell: 👉 First dates that turned into marriages. 👉 Wakes where the real stories came out. 👉 “Ok, just one” that became the best night of the year. 👉 Somewhere to decompress when the world’s had enough of you and you’ve had enough of the world. We sell a place to not be alone. 🫂 If you want cheap: stay on your sofa with a four-pack of lukewarm cans 🛋️🥵🍻 But PLEASE don’t confuse low cost with value! 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I’ll be over here - overcharging for heating, chairs, and human interaction. 🔥🪑🤗 Tag a mate who needs to stop being a tight-arse and buy a round! You know the one. 😂👇 #spreedthelove #publife #beerbanter #AffordableDrinks #pubbanter
