I imagine it's mainly because it's not a place we visit just for a couple of hours and then go home and it costs hundreds of pounds rather than a few quid?

Indeed. Mind I'm always reminded of the first time we went in 2006: Mintball and I took the CT 'beach and bars' coach trip - and will never forget the comment from someone on the minibus: "It's very nice but it's not what I'd call a proper rugby league town."

This was one of a group that, when they got off the little coach at any stop, merely raced straight to the nearest drinking hole and didn't even bother to look around.

They must have been running the gauntlet a bit with all the dog sh*t lying around.

How much was the vino?

Same bar as I paid €6.50 for a pint, I think a small glass of wine was around €2.50, but would have been well trashed had I taken to drinking the vino, as I tend to drink it like pop.

The bar near the castle was 6.85 for a pint of Heineken, 11.00 for a bottle of Rose

I thought you were quite sober, considering the result and the time of night I saw you in that bar, but I didn't realise there was an even more expensive bar than the one we were in, so maybe you had been in there first Dettoriman?

I seemed sober because the rest were so drunk, And yeah we had tested out a few more bars too, We had been on the pop since 11 that day so looking sober is a good thing lol

Drunk is a mild word for some of 'em...not sure if it was one of your mates or not Dettori, but one of the lads who was worse for wear in there, was proudly flashing a green bikini around that he had bought (he wasn't wearing it, I hasten to add) and he made no bones about the fact that he bought it for himself not a girlfriend!

Not sure what he intended to do with it, but he was so proud of it lol!

Was it a mankini by any chance?
