    2 x staropramen, 1 x heineken

    would have been cheaper to drink petrol, and also tasted similar.

    I bought three pints of Peroni for a similar price

    when we went to Newcastle in the cup. I nearly had a heart attack.

    On the plus side

    it was cheaper than Wembley, and tasted less like actual cold piss.

    I paid £6.70 for 2 pints of Carlsberg Export at the Dog racing track in Manc at the weekend.

    In a plastic glass too.

    Thought barmaid had made a mistake with the price at first!

    Steak Sandwich and chips- &pound;16.</p>

    Beer is reasonable, but food is overpriced. Then again, the toffs don't mind paying it round there</p>
