Guinness pint for six pence

It was that the drinker had to pay with the old six pennies and not with the new decimal coins.

If you had the old sixpence then you could get a creamy pint of Guinness at Norman’s bar in Moira.

Former Welsh international and Glenavon goalkeeper Tony Millington managed the bar.

He explained: “It all began with an old enamel bar sign we had, advertising a pint for sixpence.

“After the decimal coins were introduced, it just seemed like a good idea to offer a sixpenny pint.

“It’s a good gimmick and certainly raises a few eyebrows - especially when strangers come into the bar.”

But the thoughts of ‘getting rightly’ on a few bob were not on as the offer was limited to two pints a man.
