Prices in your local

I mean has it forced other more expensive pubs to drop prices a bit or is it a case of as it was, and have a few cheap ones before moving on?  The latter - There are 3 in the middle of town where I am and they don't have any impact on the prices in the other bars. People around don't generally go out just to drink so they cheap and un-cheerful does appeal to everyone.

Going by the few I’ve been in over there, they seem to attract sorts that wouldnt go to a pub normally also. 

Here in Cambridge they have coffin dodgers and alcoholics in the daytime, with a brief infiltration of the cheap office lunch, followed by the functioning alcoholics in the evening and students at night. At the weekend they get the town and village mob who want a cheap night in the bigger town, followed by a bit of pavement dancing with the world's most aggressive bouncers. I think they are open until three on Friday and Saturday.

I could think of nothing worse than sitting in a wetherspoons for a day session

Yeah mentioned a page or two ago, huge potential to be very entertain8ng.

What would make you change your local? If price went up 20c, 50c, would you move? Surely the allure is that its close and you know the clientele.

Think the only thing that would make me move would be if it changed the target market (eg became a hipster craft beer pub instead of a local to watch sports)

Just call it beer ffs, sure all beer has been crafted. Can i call heineken a craft beer? "Oh look at me I drink craft beer", ye are up there with wine knobs. Nothing more boring than some **** harping on about a lovely "craft" beer he had called platypus anus that had hints of java. f**k off and just call it beer and that it was nice. Think this has to go into things that annoy the fook out of you thread.

There could be many potential circumstances that could possibly make you change your local besides hipster w**kers. Examples include
