In the news thread

It’s pretty much 10 years ago to the day when my best mate and I were in London together for a couple of days. Went in the British Museum to gawp at all our imperial ill-gotten gains and got all thirsty. Craft brewery pub across the road. Wonderful we thought, a nice refreshing pint. Had a good old chinwag with the barman and tasted some before making our selection, and I got a fresh, crisp £20 out thinking that’d be plenty. Nope, £21.80 (I’ve remembered the value because it shocked me so much).

I have 3 Shmoofoil hoodies, a pair of as good as new Matchbreak supers, and some very smelly shmoo sliders to stick on the bonfire.

LOL

That was almost funny. Good to see he’s so committed to the British politics that he’s buggered off to America.

Insert obvious German joke here

I remember being in Ibiza in 1995 and any drink at this club was £10. Water, beer, shot of voddy, anything. A fucking tenner. That’s about £20 quid in today’s money according to this

£20 used to be enough for a rate night out growing up. Can’t fathom a pint being close to a tenner now !

Then you see the prices in supermarkets, bargains everywhere now.

I remember going to £10 all you can drink nights in clubs. Everything included! Spirits, lager, wine, ect.

Messy, messy nights.
