The house prices are expensive and that's it unless you go the West end everywhere else is actually quite cheap

I read the first part of your post and got happy... I'm off to London on Thurs and Friday and I'm a bit skint...

I then read the second part and got depressed again as I'm going to the West End.

Not my fault they decided to have Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park is it?

Got charged eight euros in one place per pint. We bartered with the pubs after that and one of them knocked three euros off each pint so we only paid four euros each. Not bad considering its five euros in most places in Perpignan.

Although drinks in the ground were expensive most pubs and clubs were quite reasonable, especially the happy hour deal of 1 Euro a bottle until the bar ran out of Bud, Forsters, San Mig, E.K Damm and every other drink known to man including buckets of ice and glasses .

7 euros for a pint or 10 euros for a litre which pretty much equates to £7 and £10 for alcohol free beer

My mate was gutted when I pointed out he had just spent 20e on alcohol free 'lager'. To be honest I think it was a good job at that point, it helped us to remember some of the game!!!
