Get A Pint For 17p This Friday - If You're Fast Enough

A pint of beer hasn't cost 17p since the early 1970s, but this Friday (17 January) there's a chance for Londoners to find out/reacquaint themselves with how that feels.

Market Place Vauxhall is pouring pints of Asahi for 17p each on Friday — although, predictable catch here: only 100 pints are going for this hugely deflated price. (After that, the space-time continuum will be restored, and pints will revert to the 2025 price of just under six quid.)

Given that the deal runs from 12pm-2pm (while stocks last), each fizzy almost-freebie will likely be awarded to those with flexible working hours/very understanding bosses.

Oh, and why the 17p? Apparently 17 January marks 'Quitters Day', when most people throw in the towel on the New Year's resolutions. We would suggest, however, that it's probably not worth quitting your actual job to get your hands on a pint of lager, no matter how cheap it is.
