Just back from Whitby and have to say that there's validity on both sides of the argument.

We enjoyed some great hospitality but were annoyed to be charged £1 for a pint of tap water at the Middle Earth. This was even more galling as we'd just returned to the bar after to tell them that we'd been undercharged by the price of two pints of bitter. I know what I'd do if I was undercharged again!

Some of the food outlets are overly expensive, but Cambridge is an expensive town and I don't recall anyone complaining about prices in and around CFF.

More worrying was the decline in numbers. I wasn't the only one to comment on the lack of folkies in the usual pubs. On the otherhand, year upon year of bad weather doesn't help!
