The NCT.

Going into the pub and not drinking, minerals cost just as much.

Getting a sandwich in O Briens or anywhere like that, you would be better off going to McDonalds.

Also they charge 20c for a cup of hotwater in my college, 20c bloody cent!

Although I agree it's expensive and I don't order coffee when I'm out, what you're paying for is the whole process it takes to make that coffee. It's not as simple as adding boiling water, sugar and milk. The coffee is ground, pressed, the water is filtered through it, the milk is steamed etc.. If you don't want to pay through the nose then just order an Americano and stay away from starbucks.

The pretentiousness of these coffee shops is unreal for a f*cking black coffee.

Nice sunglasses, a bit of plastic or flimsy wire and a €100 price tag :eek: (Still got them though :rolleyes:)

I paid €650 for mine last time. The frames were €150 and the rest was for the lenses. The price of being half blind.

How so? Americano is a term that originated in Italy when the American soldiers during WW2 would add water to espresso because they were more accustomed to filter/drip coffee.
If you ordered a 'black coffee' somewhere, it would tend to be understood as a filter coffee, rather than an espresso with hot water added to it.

+1 on the chocolate bars/sweets etc in local shops! 1pound used to get a choc bar, crisps.popcorn and a cheap magazine, and maybe even have change after back when i was in my early teens, paying over a euro for a choc bar just seems wierd and wrong tbh now tbh!

Plastic bags, yes i know theyres sometimes in some places a lot less litter because of this, but still imho we should be allowed one plastic bag free of charge and then pay if extra are wanted, thats just me though.
Some places are cool with it though!

Magazines, I remember an expensive magazine being 2e/2.50 at most, now its like 5/6e! :eek: the reason why my consumption of them has gone wayyyyy down!

Taxi Regulator only sets the maximum price taxis can charge.

Nothing stopping a taxi driver charging less to get business.

As such blame the taxi drivers who charge the maximum possible price.

For my 2 boys who are both under 7 years old to get a haircut in a salon it's €10 each. It barely takes 5 minutes each to cut both their hair.

For the price of the two haircuts you could buy a hair clippers and give them several haircuts for €20. Number 4 all over is simple to do.

My two least favourite were all ready mentioned, the price of public travel and Maplin. I do a lot of DIY electronics, and it's WAY cheaper to order bulk online, including the shipping. I can't believe they get any business at all here. I went to one up North a few years back and it was a lot cheaper. No idea if it still is.

I really do think public travel is fucking extortionate.
