You only want to go back because you can have another hoop-hugging session like you did today. Can't help but think that JB, Rogue Senior and his Tiny Tim are rubbing off on you

Has the extra tax on strong pear cider come out yet?

I remember been totally outraged when I found out that Alistair Darling included that in his budget. My pear ciders on Saturday night at the pub where £3.50 and up.

Absolute rip off!

Mind you if buying pear cider keeps the bars open then I’m fully up for it. Still I think Mr Darling has got it very wrong about us cider drinkers.

It’s the Alcopop kids he ough to be targeting.

You need to do your research. On the North West corner there was a pass out gate that led to the Ice Rink bar.

Much, much cheaper in there (£2.80 a pint) and less than a minute from the stadium.

Best kept secret for the two days.

Its was £4 a pint at the Millennium Stadium 2 years ago, and £4 a pint at Wembley last year (oops).

£2CAN of lager and £3CAN of bitter at S*&t Helens

£4 for a bottle pf carling, and £6 a burger

Once youv'e been to Perpignan, everything else seems like a bargin.
