General / Off-Topic What you can buy for thirty pounds!

[Agony_Aunt]

With all the hoo-ha about the cost of the expansion, let's take a look at what 30 quid can buy you in the UK. (40 quid for the expansion, but 10 quid off for existing owners).

Average price of a beer in a pub in Yorkshire is 3 pounds. 10 pints. For your average yorkshireman, that's just your usual Saturday night's drinking then.

A (men's) haircut... 10 quid where you live? Let it grow a little more between cuts, you'll soon have that 30 pounds. 3 haircuts get you 30.

Woman's haircut? 30 quid right there!

How about fast food? Big Mac, fries, and a cola is around 4 or 5 pounds isn't it? Roughly 7 visits to Maccy Ds then.

You have a car? Over a quid a litre in the UK now right? Maybe walk or ride a bike for a week, as a full tank will cost you more than 30 quid.

Anyone care to add their own to the list?

Two copies of BBC Micro Elite if you time-travelled back to 1984. That's the tape version, if you wanted the disc version, you'd only be able to afford one copy

Yorkshire! (Well I'll never go there on a Sunday )
I'm doing missionary work in London and £30 will get you 7 1/2 Chip Butties in the Ivy.

But in Belfast you could buy 12 for £30.

For the lifetime pass you could almost buy a Christmas tree.

Pub? They have all been turned into 'local' supermarkets round here.

A (men's) haircut... 10 quid where you live? Let it grow a little more between cuts, you'll soon have that 30 pounds. 3 haircuts get you 30.

Been cutting my own hair for years, nothing to save here...

Woman's haircut? 30 quid right there!

I'm sorry you seem to have missed a digit off that price. Less than half of my wife's haircut. Now we are talking..

How about fast food? Big Mac, fries, and a cola is around 4 or 5 pounds isn't it? Roughly 7 visits to Maccy Ds then.

Don't ever go to Maccy D's unless it is for a MacPee. Again no saving here...

You have a car? Over a quid a litre in the UK now right? Maybe walk or ride a bike for a week, as a full tank will cost you more than 30 quid.

It's about £1.15/litre and a full tank is about £80+ so less than half a tank of diesel. Half a tank people!

Anyone care to add their own to the list?

4 bottles of half-decent Rioja - that's a good night in right there.

A return train fare to London town, including underground.

3 tickets to local multiplex cinema - or 12 tickets to local traditional cinema

One of the sims 4 'every few months' expansion packs, if ya take it as ya pay for those for a empty town and some items a season pass doesn't seem so bad. You get a whole year of expansions.
