Default I have returned

As usual, just to remind you doubters why you came here

Twelve days in the UK.

It rained, every single day ... it was cloudy and grey most days .... August in England

The costs of things has shot up incredibly. People moan about Spain being more expensive now ... trust me, it has nothing on the UK. I have spent so much money its untrue. I draw out £100 and its just gone on nothing in a few days.

I couldn't afford to live there right now even if I wanted to

Trust me, I had the same problem in Spain!

PS Now I'm back in the UK, the forecast for the whole of this week is warm and sunny.

Yeah, but thats with the rate of exchange!

I was drawing sterling and spending sterling like water. Just going out for a coffee or a snack ... you spend £7-8 just for a couple of coffees and a danish.

Well I did say the forecast was sunny, that doesnt mean it actually is.

TBH the skies are as dull as ditch water here at the moment.

Well I was drawing euros and spending euros like water! and 300 euros seemed to be gone in a few days. You're just gonna have to quit that Danish lark when you're in the UK next! Im sure there are better deals along the 332.
