Oy, what did I say in the original post? I wanted to spend no more than 50
euros a day. This is what I want my purchasing power in Ireland and the UK
compared to. and why are you blathering on about London? I clearly stated
in the OP that I am not planning to visit london. I just don't understand
what compels people to read a post that contains some very clear and
specific question, and then insist on offering a vague and general reply,
providing answers that really do nothing to help the orginal concerns of the
the OP.
