Im in England. When we first moved ro France I was surprised at how expensive beer was. Wine was pretty good value though. Now, on a return visit to UK, I'm shocked at how expensive beer is. It's as expensive if not more so than in France. And wine. F**k me! THE PRICE !! It's astronomical.

And eating out. Quality/ price is a bit shocking. We went to a good curry house ( we've been many times before). It was nice, but not stunning. We had a small starter each, only one main dish between us, a couple of sides and one rice between us. It was the most I've ever paid for a curry.

It’s mad isn’t it! But food prices had gone up so much plus cost if running a business and it does make sense.

I understand that. Brexit has ruined so much.

Been trying to persuade Mr Badger to consider move to France for a few years but he’s never been keen; documentation & worries about receiving U.K. pension. As we age the thought becomes more daunting, but if Refuck get in we’ll have to leave as their policies would make it impossible for us to stay
