euro - pound - paris

[BoredBloke]

I think everywhere in Euroland is expensive. Not just because the pound has fallen, but because it's expensive!

Mrs scooter and I went to Paris at the weekend. We had a cuppa of tea and nothing else - 14 euros

We're all doomed

I had a weekend in Paris a couple of months back and I was shocked at just how much it all cost...

That's a long way to go for a cup of tea. But top contractor thrift marks for making it last all weekend.

You'd be surprised what you can do when you've got a company plane handy

Well this one time we went to Kerala, India - but that's another story. SLurrrp that's a good cup of chi -

All these things cost money. The cup(s) of tea would be only a small part of the cost.

I have seen a Paris café where a drink had 4 different prices, depending on whether you consumed it:
1. standing at the bar
2. sitting inside the café
3. sitting outside
4. sitting outside in the front row of seats, with the best view.

Vive le marché libre!

Don't forget that those 4 prices all go up at night.

I remember one Saturday morning in Paris. A couple of large café crèmes and a piece of buttered toast. Five quid before 9 am, and this was in the eighties

Consider yourself teabagged.

Are you sure that you only had a cup of tea? Did you perhaps have two cups of tea? Or even two pots of tea? Did you also have milk? And perhaps you also had a seat, possibly in a highly desirable and therefore more expensive part of town? And you would get service too.

Yes to all of the above - It was in the Sofitel where we were staying.


Has anybody here worked in London lived in Paris? We're considering it... I'm thinking commuting via the tunnel.
