Did you change your £££ at the official rate then dddc?

Yes it all depends on how you spend your time when comparing cities. We're not really into fine dining out when we're on holiday and usually eat in chain type places or take away.
The wife bought clothes in the UK because she said the quality was better for the price paid plus there was more variety. Supermarket food is definitely more expensive here than it is in the UK.

Funny that someone mentioned taxi fares. The wife and I were talking about that the other day. The cost of a private taxi to get us to EZE has risen 25% every year....we now pay £110 for the 100 mile journey. The £35 I paid from central London to LHR was exceptional value I thought.
