Talking about the cost of real ale, try down South some day, if you dare, you can pay £2.50 / £2.60 a pint in some places, so give me £2.20 anyday, and I would rather pay the extra and be in Scotlland than Sheffield anyday! having said that I would rather be down South then Sheffield. Of course if you go to a Weatherspoons you can most likely get real ale (do they sell such good drink) for about £1.80 but who likes Weatherspoons, even the food is CX£"% and NO music.

No give me Scotland anytime over the rest of the country, even with real ale at £2.20.
