    Can't be bothered clicking the link to the original data, is the price in CH for weak-as-pee "continental-style" lager brewed lower-strength for the chavs that can't hold their drink, or is it proper Belgian strength ale?

    Guildford's a bit far for me. But fortunately I do Hate All Scousers, so it looks like I only have to pay £1 wherever I go. Do you reckon you need some sort of membership card for that?

    Judging by the double entry there, whoever posted it was probably a bit worse for wear after a promotion night at the pub.

    They don't say what exchange rate has been used on that site. Is the data recent or several years old?
