    I don't know about bristol, but that does't sound too far off London prices. I'd expect that in an airport.

    You are brave going to any pub near the playhouse.

    £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.

    €1.40 for a glass here in Munich.

    Guess if you've hang out in dodgy airports you pay dodgy prices.

    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.
    Why? You try and enter the airport fully slothered?

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