You lot down there are getting robbed on the daily, you do realise that they are the same pints sold up North for a fraction of the price right? Oh, that's right, the weather is one or two degrees warmer, makes it all worth it. Get me back up North!

The temperature difference is not really noticeable. What is very different though is how many hours of sunshine we get down here. Makes a real difference to mood, especially in Winter. It's probably the one thing that stops me wanting to move back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still get cheap drinks in ones just outside London. Would imagine Canary Wharf been more than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Glad I'm not staying longer to find out. I've always taken the piss out of Southerner's, Londoners especially but I'm coming away with a new found respect for those that can live in this chaotic city. Would rather live in St Ann's in Nottingham and I'm not even joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back home it's £2.58 Sat in Tattersalls Tavern in Knightsbridge, £6.65 for a Madri, £4.70 in my local. Insane. Boycie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back home it's £2.58 In fairness you’d have to pay me £5.29 to drink a Carling. That’s shocking. I’ll take the toilet water instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather live in St Ann's in Nottingham and I'm not even joking. I lived there for about 6 years and didn't find it too chaotic. Most people won't live in the places you've visited, but spread out down the tubelines and rail network. Whilst parts of Central London can obviously get very busy, many of the places where people live are often like small city/town centres in their own right. Some of them nice but expensive, some of them not as nice and almost as expensive! If you can find a place with an easy commute, your life could even be fairly chilled. I just can't work out how all the people on modest/low incomes survive there. I moved there in 2000 and on an average salary for London, could go out 3 or 4 times a week and not really have to budget for food much.

Boycie Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 The spoons in Camden is cheaper. They charge according to how stupid (ly) rich the area is. Thing is, if you’re that well off, why drink in a spoons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
