Why?
We've still got a two pence piece, which is what a groat was...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Thumbs up! City of Tallinn has developed it's tourism. Nowadays the greatest
attraction is a mould of an Estonian Olympic wrestler. When the statue stood
in downtown, few people paid attention to it. When it was moved to a
boothill, hordes of Russians begun to go in pilgrimage on the foot of the
mould to kiss it passionately.

Of the places you listed, the cheapest would be Spain, the former East
Germany, or England outside of the London metro area. The cheapest
major city out of those countries would probably be Berlin.
Much of Eastern Europe is a lot cheaper than the countries you listed,
although some parts of Eastern Europe like Prague, Tallinn and
Ljubljana are fast approaching Western European prices.

In Sweden, Norway and Finland you can pitch a tent in woods without owner's
consent. You also pick up berries and mushrooms without any licenses as well
as you can try to catch fish by hook and line. Naturally you can set fires
to prepare your prey for a meal. By walking and hitch hiking you don't pay
anything for moving from one place to another. Modern man just wants to be
in the midst of all the rotting comforts.

Spain by a long way; but I can't help with monthly rental
prices.
If you really want to see Europe and do it economically - go
further East, behind the old "Iron Curtain". Much cheaper in
Hungary, Poland, Slovakia etc.

You can have a good night out there, but don't go alone.
John Prescott is their MP.
He learned to punch like that on his Saturday nights out...
The main reasons to go to Hull are either the shopping, which is actually
quite good, and to catch the cheap ferry to Holland...

Bombay is a hell of a sight cheaper than anywhere in the UK unless you want
to live with the 'old money' in Colaba or with the movie stars in Bandra.
What's more I took four people out for dinner at one of the best places in
Bandra a few months ago, complete with cocktails and all the trimmings,
and got change from £20.
In the UK I couldn't even buy a round of cocktails for that.

to live with the 'old money' in Colaba or with the movie stars in Bandra.
What's more I took four people out for dinner at one of the best places in
Bandra a few months ago, complete with cocktails and all the trimmings,
and got change from £20.
In the UK I couldn't even buy a round of cocktails for that.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
