WHERE can you find the cheapest pint of beer I in Britain? It is not at Great Harwood’s Leisure Hour WMC, as Granada Television suggested last night . . . it is right here in Clitheroe.

SUMMER arrived at last in the Ribble Val ley this week, with Tuesday’s tempera ture of 76 degrees recorded in Clitheroe making it the hottest day of the year. The temperature
was reported by local amateur meteorolog ist Mr Tom Suttie, who said the previous highest temperature recorded this year was 74F. Mr Suttic, a newsa
gent in Wellgate, Clitheroe, was, how ever, not predicting the hot weather for a lengthy spell. “ It c o u l d b e c o m e changeable by the
end of the week,” he
said. A lth ou gh many
people feel we have had hardly any sum mer this year, Mr Suttie pointed out that the first 10 days of June in Clitheroe were without rain. “June has been the best month of the year so far . . . which perhaps isn’t saying much,” he added. The hot weather
brought the crowds out in Clitheroe. The town was filled with shoppers, while at lunchtime in the Cas tle grounds, office workers tried to start a tan.
surer Mr Leonard Garner I said the price of beer had not been increased for many months. All recent increases, including the | latest rise in VAT, had been absorbed. He said: “We are a non-1
profit making organisa tion. We just have to ensure some money is put by for possible improve ments and increased over heads.” A Granada Television

spokesman said that last n ig h t ’s programme, “National drink test” — made six months ago had not claimed the Great Harwood club’s pint was the cheapest in Britain but “the cheapest we could find."
