HIGH/LOW prices. What have you seen, what have you bought?

[Z06George]

$12 so about £8 for a single Jager and Coke at a bar in Las Vegas. Although everything else was cheaper there than it is here so can't really complain.

[Kermit power]

Expensive = Absolutely anything purchased in Switzerland.

Cheap = Bottles of Corona for a surprisingly reasonable £3.95 a few weeks ago in an establishment in Brighton where the heating seemed to have broken, as all the ladies there had to take all their clothes off to stay cool.

I once spent £20 on a can of coke and a magnum ice cream in Tokyo airport, I think there was some huge currency unbalance happening at the time or something.

If you want a truly upsetting idea of Low / High pricing, take anything food based and add the word 'wedding' to it. At the hotel we had our reception last month you can have a nice 3 course meal for about £30 a person, but somehow this becomes £75 per person when you ask to bring a few hundred people with you.

Corvette C7 is going to be about 55 thousand pounds in England - they're about 30 quid in the states.

£9 for a pint!

Sounds like 'Moris' Pub in Val d'Isere, and it's only 500ml not a pint (568ml)!

Beaten by 30euro for a cheeseburger/chips and a beer at the bottom of the 'Sache' run into Tignes le lac....

Reading the one about drinks in Vegas, reminds me of 2 extremes from Italy.

At a small cafe in the piazza of a rural peasant farming town, perched in the hills somewhere between Perugia and Assisi. 2 bottles of Peroni and a tall glass of orange juice - €2.80

At a trendy bar in the middle of Venice. 2 bottles of Peroni and a tall glass of orange juice. €35. Outrageous!

Eight quid for a 250ml bottle of Coke in Megeve a couple of years ago. Espressos were a fiver. tts.

Most expensive ever was some fizzy st I bought for a stripper in Barcelona. Worked out to be about fourty quid a (125ml) glass. Greedy spunk smelling bh.

Toastie and a beer in Bruges near on 17 quid! Beer was 11% though

I paid just under £12 per 375ml bottle in Bury St Edmunds. It was BrewDog Tokyo Stout, 18.2%, though. then

I would love to try Tactical Nuclear Penguin (32%, 375ml Bottle £35.00) or even Sink The Bismark (stupidly strong with a price to match)

[Jimmy No Hands]

Once bought a pint down South..



Never again.

[JREwing]

In Courchevel 1850 a small round (a couple of beers, a brandy and a coke) was 86 Euros. I gave the waiter a 100 Euro note and he didn't return with the change. One of the other people with me sought him out and demanded the change for me, which he had taken as a tip.

£9 for a glass of water at Montys in Sloane Street.

Mental.

Pint of Chang in Molly Malone's in Bangkok, surrounded by fat sweaty ex pats watching football - £3.50.

£3.50 for a pint in Thailand? Utter lunacy!

[Patrick Bateman]

£9 for a sandwich?

What sort of ish place could have the cheek to ask that.

[Chim]

45 quid for 1 tea, 1 coffee, 1 small glass of wine and an ice cream. Saint marks Square in Venice, just fooking stupid.

[RSGulp]

€24 for a beer at the Café de Paris in Monaco's Casino Square. Mid-week, no racing going on, sitting outside. The beer was a poultry 25cl in a stemmed glass. My wife had a glass of water (tap) that cost around €5.

[sneijder]

I live in Oslo, the ten quid 'pint' glass ceiling was broken last year.

Whenever I go away, I always seek out the airport supermarkets, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf have them hidden on the lower level, Amsterdam by the train station. Cheap grog in there.

[Olivera]

~£35 for a smoked salmon sandwich when staying at the Richmond Hotel in Geneva. Fortunately it went on the expenses.

[Wacky Racer]

£400 for a Sofa in DFS. According to them, the EXACT same Sofa previously sold for £3500......
