I lived through it all The Holy hour =closed from 2 to 4 pm on a Sunday, though a lot of pubs just closed the door and left whoever wanted stay there. The 3 mile limit= if you lived or said you lived more than 3 mile from the pub i.e You were classed as a visitor, and could get in early and have a drink before 12.30 on a Sunday. I saw the change in the closing hours from 10 to 11 pm on Sunday night. Iv'e sw]een a hell of a lot of changes since I first started drinking in 1965 when a pint Guinness was1shilling and sixpence and a large bottle Guinness was 1shilling and seven pence.Old Money of course. Whiskey and other spirits was dearer than Beer, It is the opposite now as Beer is dearer.
Where are you drinking? A pint of local ale in my local pub is £2.95 (ish) my husbands drink of choice. But a whisky is £3.50, £4.50 for a double, my drink of choice.
@@JulieWallis1963 The double you talk about is only 2/3rd the Irish measure and it's Whiskey which we gave to the Scots and they still cannot spell it properly, plus you are talking Pounds whereas we deal in Euros
@@JulieWallis1963 I was talking Euros so with the different wexchange rate it is much the same.and the English measure in Whiskey/Spirits is only 2/3rds the Irsh measure so there ya go. You have learned something today.
An Irish man walks into a pub. "What'll you have?" the bartender asks. "Give me three pints of Guinness, please," says the man. The bartender brings him three pints, and the man proceeds to sip them alternately -- the first one, the next one, and then the third one, until they're all gone. He then orders three more. "Sir,” says the bartender, “I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on you, and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one." "You don't understand,” the man says. “I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're drinking together.” ”What a wonderful tradition,” the bartender says, smiling. Every week after that, the man comes into the bar and orders three beers. But one week, he orders only two. He drinks them and orders two more. "I know what your tradition is,” says the bartender sadly, “and I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died." "Oh, me brothers are fine,” says the man. “I just quit drinking."
No one seems to notice in those days that's all that happened in a pub, drinking. The days when food in a pub consisted of crisps or peanuts. If it was a fancy pub you could get a toasted ham and cheese sandwich!😂
Ha I remember getting toasties as a kid with my dad, they would have the sandwiches wrapped up on the bar they would toast them in the wrapping, never thought about them for 30 years then the memory came floating back at the mention.

I remember going to Inverness on a bus trip from rural Perthshire one rainy Sunday in 1975. The whole place was closed apart from one Chinese restaurant!! No kidding. It was very religious Presbyterian then. The wee chinaman had never sold so many takeaway fish and chips in his life. Maybe the most boring Sunday in my life.. apart from on the way home we sang celtic and Irish songs to antagonise the proddys on the bus! 😂
You'd be game to take on a pub these days...it used to be the social point of communities, where you went to meet people and have a catch up..sure you can sit at home now and talk to people on the other side of the world via face time etc... that, and the price of a drink in a pub compared to what you can buy for 20 quid in a superstore off sales and drink at home. The Irish pub is on its knees, those that are still opened that is...more needs to be done to help promote the local pub trade, certainly in the more rural areas anyway.

A very depressing one sided view I think . To balance this view of drinking it also brought a lot of great memories merriment and crack ! I miss the days when pubs were an institution of Irish culture
@@eamonhannon1103 It probably did for some people, but for every great memory, there are about 20 horror stories of friendships destroyed, fights, injuries, bad blood, health destroyed, alcoholism, divorces, separations, adultery, assaults and crimes...DUIs, accidents, deaths on the road from gob shoites driving home drunk...men spending their week's wages on drink...people are sick of auld boring pubs in most cases now anyway, and the price of drink too...the off license and petrol stations killed the pubs...
@@sherp2u1 Sorry I do not agree . There is good and bad like everything else with drink . Social drinking in moderation is something to be valued . Of course like everything else there can be a problem side to drinking but to give a balanced picture we need to look at the good and the bad sides of drinking, pubs . Now we see people drinking at home . This is a very bad development in my opinion . Much better in the day when people went to their local pub to meet up with their friends and neighbours for a “ few sociables “ The French have their wine , the Italians , their food and we used to have our pubs . Places where the community met and socialised . Sadly they are closing down now around the country . Something I think we will deeply regret in the future . An institution of Irish culture being casually discarded . The pub was as important to Irish culture as Traditional music or the Irish language but we seem to be happy to see them fade away . Not me , I think action should be taken to preserve the Irish Pub and sociable drinking .
I like the man who says..
"I'm against drinking all together.....welll.......not all together but within reason."

Pubs and drink have destroyed generations and the country....made them thicker and more depressed...
A very depressing one sided view I think . To balance this view of drinking it also brought a lot of great memories merriment and crack ! I miss the days when pubs were an institution of Irish culture
@@eamonhannon1103 It probably did for some people, but for every great memory, there are about 20 horror stories of friendships destroyed, fights, injuries, bad blood, health destroyed, alcoholism, divorces, separations, adultery, assaults and crimes...DUIs, accidents, deaths on the road from gob shoites driving home drunk...men spending their week's wages on drink...people are sick of auld boring pubs in most cases now anyway, and the price of drink too...the off license and petrol stations killed the pubs...
@@sherp2u1 Sorry I do not agree . There is good and bad like everything else with drink . Social drinking in moderation is something to be valued . Of course like everything else there can be a problem side to drinking but to give a balanced picture we need to look at the good and the bad sides of drinking, pubs . Now we see people drinking at home . This is a very bad development in my opinion . Much better in the day when people went to their local pub to meet up with their friends and neighbours for a “ few sociables “ The French have their wine , the Italians , their food and we used to have our pubs . Places where the community met and socialised . Sadly they are closing down now around the country . Something I think we will deeply regret in the future . An institution of Irish culture being casually discarded . The pub was as important to Irish culture as Traditional music or the Irish language but we seem to be happy to see them fade away . Not me , I think action should be taken to preserve the Irish Pub and sociable drinking .
@@eamonhannon1103 Well said Sir 👏 👍 👌
