    Which is 2750 miles from ireland,in the atlantic,off the coast of africa.They have practicly no fresh water,they dont brew beer there,they have no cattle herds and for all practical purposes everything has to be imported.WHY then is it 1.50 for a pint of beer there when we brew the stuff up the road and its usually a fiver or so.Why is a four course meal in a restaraunt around a tenner(starter,steak,desert,drink) there when we'd be lucky to get a starter for that when we have the worlds supply of cattle,vegetables and potatoes?Am i missing something here?

    This sounds like a copy&paste of a previous post, tbh.

    Why? eh because the island is TAX free.. most of the price we pay for alcohol is Tax. You do not pay it there so its a lot cheaper.
