Colin,
I have just got back from the pub, where beer was £2.10 per pint. I wouldn't dream of paying more than about £3, even in London.

Well I guess I was getting the out of town tax, those bastard! I think I was paying 4 pounds 50p in London. Anyway your money goes allot farther here than our money does over there, so you lot better get over here, that's all I am trying to say! 
If you really want to get ripped off, go to Rome. When my wife and I were there New Years 2001, Coca Cola was going for $7.00 USD each. It was literally cheaper to drink wine (@ $5.00 per glass) than Coca Cola.
Observing prices in Rome, and other tourist trap locales, I've noticed that tourist traps charge far more than the area average for everything.
