Southern prices shocker, they wouldn't want to pay more than 50p fer t'pint, lad.

The Yorkie we lived with in student digs was a mardy sod & never believed what others said - he'd always say "Aye, wi' cock ahrt" whenever he thought sumat were up - everyone ended up copying it and soon became infectious

that's the point, mess prices on a ship are bloody low anyway! 20p a shot and around 70p a can/bottle, hardly extortionate I'm sure you'll agree.
The most expensive is normally Bulmers or the gaylords in my last mess who drank rose wine I'm sure they were only drinking it to try and get into the Chief Wrens knicks

Can you believe Bernie's local has put on Wicked Witch beer in my honour?! Nice cheeky pint it is too.

Mind you at this rate I shall be pished before Earl Barfly even drags himself out of his pit...... GET UP YOU LAZY GIT!!!!!! Or I shall sit here looking smug and say that "I told you so" phrase you really hate, when you turn up and its too late to go museum visiting.........

Last time I tried to get to a museum there (National Maritime) to see the Nelson & Napoleon exhibition

http://www.nmm.ac.uk/explore/sea-and...-and-napoleon/

a four hour journey in on public transport from Berkshire meant that we only had a quick half hour in the place, ended up drowning our sorrows in the pubs around Greenwich....

Which museums do you have in mind, P?
