[LRUG] UK salaries? Just curious...

[Daniel Tenner]

Drinking beers is cheap, almost anywhere in London. Even bars aren't  
that expensive (even £4/bottle is bearable unless you're a certified  
alcoholic!... 6-7 bottles will be less than £30)

It's the cocktails that really slaughter your bank account. At £8-10 a  
pop for most decent places, you can easily find yourself 50 quid out  
of pocket for a single round. Buy two rounds, + entrance ticket of  
£20, and a cab ride back home, and there's your £150 night not  
including dinner! Have one of those a week and you'll be bankrupt  
pretty fast.

But as long as you stay away from that, it's not so expensive...
