    £21 for four fantas

    Took the grandkids to see the cirque du Soliel last week, and we had a fantastic time.

    but...
    It cost me £21 for four little orangey drinks and one little pop of boxcorn.

    i can get five pints and a kebab for that, and still have enough left over to feed me whippet

    That's what Grandads are for.

    It's in the job description...

        You should follow MTT's rule of entertainment decisions; when in doubt, choose the pub.

            Why are you buying your grandkids a sweet sugary drink with no nutritional value? Do you not like them?

                Went to see the same with SWMBO and paid 9 quid for a drink and hot dog. I could hardly eat it for choking on the price.

                  Has anyone noticed how Fanta differs according to the country you're in? In Bolivia it's a much deeper orange colour and for some reason I felt compelled to drink it with every meal. I haven't really touched the stuff since.

                    If no-one was prepared to pay these prices they wouldn't sell any, only this morning I was shaking my head at the local council run sports centre where the machine wanted £1 for tea in a plastic cup.

                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
