They say our nation's capital is a place of great diversity, which it most certainly is. And this includes on pricing.
Despite suggestions to the contrary, it is possible to get a bargain here - although not always straight away.
To illustrate, earlier I arranged to meet a friend but was early. So I bought a pint of weak lager to pass the time.
£5.10.
Not a great start then.
Later, I passed through Victoria Station and felt the need to bequeath my pint back to London. So I nipped into the pay-as-you-wee facility.
30p.
Probably par for the course these days, although I stand to be corrected.
But I ended on a high. On the way back to my crap hotel, I fancied a bit of choccy to compliment my tea bag and bath water.
So I visited Sainsbury's Local.
136g of Terry's Chocolate Orange Minis?
£1.
And you really can't be bad to that.
If only they came by the pint.
