When I was asked to part with £3.50 in payment every single one went back where she had found it - and that was Northampton cinema prices.<BR/><BR/>Arthur, I refer you to <A HREF="http://www.dimaggio.org/Eye-Openers/drinking_bottled_water.htm" REL="nofollow">this</A> on the subject of the price of water in London bars and restaurants.J.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429727115197726031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-1159460447419761882006-09-28T17:20:00.000+01:002006-09-28T17:20:00.000+01:00I'm not saying I come across as a down at heel pro...I'm not saying I come across as a down at heel provincial but I once ordered a pint of lager in Leicester Square to be asked by the nice young lady at the bar 'are you sure because it's £5 a pint' apparently this offends londoners but she guessed I was from out of town and I thought it was very good advice, so I had a glass of water which was only £3. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe those prices that you mention JJ. You can produce a feature film yourself and sleep with the leading lady for £9 around here.Arthur Clewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899298157515419564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-1159441195790581582006-09-28T11:59:00.000+01:002006-09-28T11:59:00.000+01:00You're right about the popcorn.

Only mugs would fall for that trick.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-1159440624259634802006-09-28T11:50:00.000+01:002006-09-28T11:50:00.000+01:00Reminds me of a scene from my favourite episode of...Reminds me of a scene from my favourite episode of "Black Books" where Bernard goes to the pictures (for a film that turns out to have been cancelled, though he still sits in the cinema thinking it was a weird art-house experiment). When he goes for popcorn the following exchange occurs:<BR/><BR/><I>Bernard: Excuse me, there seems to be some mistake. I bought some popcorn and a drink and now I have no money left.<BR/>Cashier: That's how much it costs.<BR/>Bernard: What is it, magic popcorn? Does it produce some kind of dizzying high?</I><BR/><BR/>BTW I also came across the same quote and thought I would dare post it here!<BR/><BR/><I>[to violent, Millwall F.C supporting skinheads]<BR/>Bernard: Millwall! That's the one. Do you know this chant? 'Millwall, Millwall, you're all really dreadful, and all your girlfriends are unfulfilled and alienated... '</I><BR/><BR/>Of course, we all that's totally untrue as a representation of Millwall fans. For a start I refuse to believe their girlfriends are unfulfilled!!!Lisa Rullsenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020425273742237299noreply@blogger.com
