Velcombe mi fren, Ve have wayz of making you talk.
Welcome to the forum.
You’ve got me thinking, there must be something that is cheaper in the UK than the rest of the world?
Welcome bones!

Hi Bones and welcome. Come to Aus and l'll introduce you to pies to fix your problem.
Essex,
How about a pint of beer? Cheap or is it taxed into oblivion? Mass brew stuff is cheap here, less than $2 pint for skunk-pee. Decent brews run $4-5 for a pint. The really good craft brew stuff can go for $11-15 a bottle.
What about fish & chips? I’ll pay $11 US for a full sized dinner portion, what are UK prices in comparison??
Welcome to the fun house, Bones! You will fit right in with the rest of us crazies.
Cheers!
Johnny
You still have a wallet after being on CPF?
Amateurs. 
Welcome to BLF! We’ll show you how it’s done!
Taxed to hell, although cider can be got very cheap where I live, so long as you have strong guts 
A normal larger in a pub is around £4 a pint so about $6. Fish and chips sounds similar.
We could start a thread… got me thinking there Essexman
MRsDNF is that an offer to stay at yours I’m fussy over pies don’t want any rubbish now
Thanks for all the great welcome’s again everybody new that’s posted, also trying to get to grips with forum system notifications

Wallets empty! Actually I didnt buy a lot whilst over there they didnt cater to the cheaper fraternity, recently been buying few things from Fasttech I’ve had brilliant service refreshing for a change.
Suppose have to sneak it on the credit card Hmm :bigsmile:

Welcome bones, nice to see you here at BLF
I was chatting with an elderly neighbour who was trying to convince me that petrol (gas) is cheaper now than when he was a lad and as modern cars are more fuel efficient, why does everyone complain?
Hmm….needless to say Im not convinced
Anything in particular that’s not working for you?
Thanks SB
I’ve managed to sort out issue wasn’t receiving notifications to posts,think more operator error :bigsmile:

Hi Essexman,
I have been racking my brains on this one - not a lot is coming to mind. Everything in Poundland costs £1. Does that count?
Yeah we do have F1 and Lewis. On the down side we have Jensen. :~

Actually some of there stuff isnt bad, I’ve picked up couple of kodak branded packs in past AA alkalines 6- £1 ideal for TV remote’s and clocks

Tritium, I think. At least the Firefly markers which are made here and need importing to the US.
The 20% VAT on everything is the killer for most things though.
For the sake of The Nation let George Osborne know! We might get that AAA rating back.
