surferdog Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What a brilliant idea! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1044852/Pub-beats-credit-crunch-allowing-punters-barter-home-grown-food-beer.html I wonder if I could persusade the pub down the road to keep me in Pinot for the price of a few eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Great. We do a spot of bartering wherever possible with other smallholdy types for other things grown. Our bee club does a raffle every meeting. I LOVE it as we always win something. Everyone brings something along then you pay a pound which goes into club funds for a ticket then you get to pick of the table if your number comes up. Last time I took a pot of homemade jam and came home with a pot plant, a large bunch of gladioli and half a tonne of rhubarb! Think I did well!!

Janty Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Wow what a great idea. Can't help but agree with those people who mentioned the tax man though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 We got jam for eggs yesterday The shoot or steal bit worries me somehow. Hopefully a joke as there is a picture of "swag" and the bank of England on the blackboard. There might be rules about where you can source food from.
