Try Paris or even Barcelona, you wont get as much change from a €10 note.

If you're struggling for cash, then the €250 flight / hotel fee is probably more of a concern that a €6 half litre of lager.

People don't get more / less hungry just because the prices are higher or lower, nor does the price of a drink affect people's thirst levels. If a bar is charging too much, then the lack customers and empty tills will let them know that.

Look at the exchange rate then think about it would you if u was 18would u pay 7 euros for a pint when the pound is nerly the same 7 euros is almost 7 pounds

Shut up.

Why the need to spend the whole weekend drinking half litres (they don't sell "pints" on the continent) of lager?

I've said it before, why not try engaging in some local activities / cultures?

Well it looks like stupid people like u who live in big mansions and drive fast cars think 7 euros is pocket change but to people who follow leeds and save for half the year in the middle of a credit crunch and try to go to catalan to wach a game for a weekend brake they dont want to pay though the nose to have a relaxing drink in a sporting atmospher with a sandwich in there hand dont want to be riped of by some french person who thinks that we will get every penny out of these british fools sometimes i wich we let the germans win cos beople likew u would be in consantration camps

Go away you boring troll.

worlds best come back not

Johnwilliam you may as well just keep digging your self a bigger grave, you are embarrasing yourself, you cant spell and them "french person" are there to make a living they are there to charge alot of money, thats their job. And the last thing you said about the concentration camps is below the belt!!!!!

It was thoroughly deserved.

You are talking crap.

Who has said that they'd be happy to pay €7 for a drink? At the end of the day, the people with the supply will sell at whatever price they feel that they can get away with. It happens in every business in every country in the world. Why should a bar in Perpignan be different?

The only freedom that you have to change that price is the freedom to take your business elsewhere.

Oh, and I bet that I can have a good weekend in Perpignan, have a few drinks and not pay €7 a pop (I know because I've done it).
