I AM surprised at the lack of comment on the 7p-a-pint increase in the price of beer (LET, May 23).
This is especially as Whitbread have just announced a 12 per cent increase of profits to more than £354 million!
The prize for the understatement of the year must go to a brewery official who said that the rise was 'unfortunate.' Diabolical more like!
