Flex-Beer Pricing?

There's some effort in the UK to have flexible ale pricing.  So at peak time (if you say folks show up between 5 and 7.....the price per glass....would be more....than it would be at 9 PM or 2 PM.

I sat and contemplated this.  

I wouldn't stop and pay 50-percent more after work (if I was working) for a pint of ale.  

Average currently in London?  4.10 pounds (4.76 Euro) roughly, per glass.  If you used this flex idea.....you can figure that the 4.10 pounds probably goes up to at least 4.60....maybe even 5.00 pound.

Would Germans accept this?  No.  They'd just stop at a mom-and-pop shop and pick up a bottle or two of beer, and sit on some park bench with their co-workers.  

Knowing how crazy things have been since BREXIT.....I have no doubt that this will be attempted and dumped in six months as everyone admits it was a failure.
