    Is it too early for

    Peroni? Well obviously not, but £2.75 for a half pint at Bristol airport. Fook me!!!! £5.50 for a pint!!! I expect the barman to come round and blow me as well for £5.50!

    What's the most expensive pint you've had in the UK?

      Its an airport, you cannot expect pub prices in there.

      These days I dont even bother looking at the cost inside the airport. They are taking advantage of captive audience and selling at ridiculous prices. The liquid ban has also allowed them to sell bottled water at more than a price of petrol.

        That isn't much for a pint. Oh, sorry forgot that you are a sorry permie arse living on the dole.

          Why? You try and enter the airport fully slothered?

            A pub near the playhouse in edinburgh tried to charge me £6+ for a pint of peroni.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

                  £7 for a 330ml stubby in the Aqua bar in the Shard. Walked past the ground floor on the weekend and there was a queue to get in at 3 in the afternoon.

                    You are brave going to any pub near the playhouse.
