lime and soda 50p a pint

Barrowboy and Banker, SE1 9QQ:

First pint of lime & soda: £1.20. Second pint: £1.40.  Both with two wedges of lime, ice, and a straw, but perhaps not quite enough cordial.

Thanks kakefood!

This does raise a question about variable pricing... this is the second pub that has charged two different prices for a L&S (on the same occasion)! I wonder how I should account for varying prices?

Perhaps each pub can have different prices and ooh, the record could show the prices and display an 'average' price?! Hmm, but what about the other pub, which was something like free and then a quid?

Museum Tavern, WC1: 68p a pint.

Right, you bastards, I've put all pubs logged so far on this tumblr into a sodding google drive SPREADSHEET because a/ I love you and b/ I have faith that this is the first step towards doing FURTHER THINGS WITH DATA.

Award ceremonies! Rewards! Shower me in champagne! Salted caramel and Pret Chocolate Bars!

Malheureusement, I know 0 about databases. Perhaps I will buy a book about databases -HOW DO YOU LIKE THOSE APPLES MARTIN FREEMAN - I bet Martin Freeman doesn't even drink lime and soda; I bet that glass in his HOBBITY HAND is full of gin (I wish mine was).

(Of course, this is lime and soda watch and not "martin freeman has hairy feet watch", but I need to get out the fact that my total number of Martin Freeman Hobbit Buses spotted today is SEVEN. Seven!! Godammit!!!)

Google drive is an ARSE, but I am glad I sucked up and did some data entry as I realised I had done the Champion twice, and been BLED DRY twice! No more, Wells St Sam Smiths!

Bonjour mes amis! Je suis Bat Durston et je vous (er er, sod it) welcome you all back to your regularly scheduled limeandsodawatch! Hurrah! Hurrah!

I can confirm that the French do not appear to have invented limes. The query of the existence of soda water was not looked into. On the positive side, the French have plenty of cured pork products, baguettes, cider and free-flowing wine. Chez Bat Durston's wine preference was for a box of Bergerac, not in the least because each time you topped up your teacup, you could do a good impression of JOHN NETTLES. Wup wa wooowwww...

I hand you back over to the main lime and soda watch account.

The Clapton Hart , 50p per pint with cordial and lime wedges.

Additional data! FREE with lime wedges & soda water only.

Hello! I'm Bat Durston. On behalf of limeandsodawatch, I have been asked to notify you all that limeandsodawatch will be on a brief hiatus whilst the drunkard who usually updates you heads off to France for a week to see if they've invented limes over there yet.

Please continue to submit your lime and soda prices to tumblr, or tweet to @limesodawatch, and regular sliming shall return shortly.

The Canonbury - £1.95 per pint! L&S served with ice, wedge & straw, good amount of cordial and stirred.

Our submitter adds:

The pub would fall under the "gastropub" umbrella, chock-full of yummy mummies and serving "casserole" (i.e.: not casserole) consisting of a small pot of venision in sauce and a smaller pot of cooked cabbage, for £16. ???!!!!

The Champion: £2.08 for the strongest pint known to man!

The receipt obtained (and lost somewhere in the bottom of my bag I expect) broke that down into 4 dashes of lime cordial at 52p each.
