Generally I think all booze is way more in Ontario, I mentioned Pride only because it amused me that it was the exact same price.

Re: Returningto UK
Yes that is true, but more often than not Tescos or Asda will have one of their popular beers on offer most weeks - Stella, Carlsberg, Becks etc....and Carling is always cheap, however I wouldnt expect anyone to drink that horrible insipid chav stuff!
I sont think the difference is so noticeable in the LCBO, as for a start you dont have to leave a tip! but $7 +tip for a pint in a pub....is way more expensive than the UK.

And as for domestic draught prices they can be a fair bit cheaper, you can buy Corrs lite and Canadian on draught at $5-5.50 a pint, but then thats like drinking the Canadian equivalent if Carling! not good!

Yes, I think you can pick out certain examples where some beers are more resonably priced, in the LCBO and suprisingly like you say the imports!

Re: Returningto UK
That doesn't surprise me - I've got used to the price of dairy here, Cracker Barrell is really cheap when it goes on offer (in the KW area anyway) but I find that is only really good for cooking. My family bring cheese from the UK over for me cos I miss it so much ... I will try the Balderson's as a Christmas treat
Its good with left over Christmas dinner, but you have to let it get to room temperature before you eat it.

I think Balderson's is no better than ok. There are lots of quality cheddars though at the St. Lawrence Market.
