I just passed a garage, petrol is £1.42 a litre.
A pint of beer in the pub yesterday was £3.00
Instead of a 6 pack x 330ml beer here in the uk is usually a 4 pack x 440 or 500ml, very similar difference, only in an off licence a 4 pack is around £5.00 to £6.00.
I dont like pizza, fish and chips is around £6.50
Uni and college isnt free here anymore
The average wage here amongst people I know is around £20k, and on that they are struggling, roof tax is £2k a year, electric is 15p/kwh, gas 4p/kwh and everything cost wise seems to be going silly, but I spose thats happening all over the world.
The only good thing I can say is that digital multimeters can be had for £2.00 at the electronics distibutors, and there are some in the pound shop downtown for 99p.
