    Wait till you come back the other way and find out that a pint in your old local will cost you nearly $7us!! When the NFL did a game in the UK a couple of years ago. a few guys came over from the us office. They came in on the monday crying about the fact that a couple of beers and a hotdog had cost them $30

    And the train fare was $6.75 for a sixty mile trip?

    I left to the angry sounds of a this crazy guy shouting 'you're cheap man, you're a bum!'

    That's no way to get tips.
    cheapskate, you're a bum

    Wouldn't that have resulted in the already seriously injured victim being tasered too?
