I'm currently in Europe and yesterday, as I was walking along some bars in a seaside resort I saw a sign 'pint of beer 1GBP' (obviously in local currency). Then in a restaurant a glass of Chilean white (125ml) was 2GBP. I had an amazing fish soup, which was 2GBP. No tax, and no tipping culture (yet).

The week before we were in the UK and went to do some shopping in Sainsbury's. Obviously, we first went to the cheese section. Boursin - 1.50GBP, camembert 2GBP, etc... Never thought I'd say that groceries are cheap in England!

PS. Sorry, can't find the pound sign.

Want to go to Bolivia, I stayed in a hotel admittley two star but it worked out to be £1 a night

Your nostalgia would be cured by a trip to the petrol station (£1.39/l)

Things may be slightly more expensive in Canada..but here i earn twice as much as i did back home

That's true.
I earn in Canada a bit more than I did in the UK, but even there my salary was around 6 times more than 'back home'.

I just returned from the hairdresser's. Got a cut and low-lights and high-lights (2 colours). Paid 25GBP (including tip).

Yes, where I am now, it's just over a pound per litre.

Thats a great price
where are you. I couldnt have got anything more than a poor cut for that at home.

Goodness where in the UK are you? Just over a pound per litre ... really? And $25 for cut high/low lights ... good grief I was paying three times that when I left England 7 years ago!

Maybe she is in Nottingham http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22623964

I think they were talking about Vancouver gas prices you convert the dollar amount to pounds.

she didn't say the fuel in the UK was just over £1/lt

she's somewhere in Europe...

I think she's in Poland

Read my first post - I'm not in the UK.

If she was in the UK she'd be in 1970's

I was in Iceland in April and you wouldn't want to compare the prices to Canada, UK or Poland Lucky we were there for only 4 days, would have been bankrupt otherwise.

The title should be 'Oh how I miss SOME European prices'
