Same problem, they have little choice. I spend far more time and money in the clubs around the borough (Rishton Workmen's and Con plus the excellent one on Sydney Street) which tend to be just over half of what I would pay in a pub. It's a shame because I want to support the pubs but can't afford to as much as I would like.
Blame the breweries and management companies, they charge twice as much for tied houses as they do for the same barrel to a free house. Of course they can always blame successive governments for tax increases and people will believe it but when you look closely at that argument it holds very little water.
