My Daughter and I have just returned from a very pleasant few days in Blackpool. I had not realised how cheap it is up there.
For example, petrol cost 91p per litre. The cheapest beer we found was £1.70 a pint. A full English breakfast cost £2.95 (the dearest being about £4.50).
A carvery meal before 5pm was £3.50. (Alas, after 5pm it went up to £4.75. Gee whizz!) And it was great.
House prices were also cheap. An average flat cost less than £50,000.
Even the food in the supermarkets was cheaper than down here. We, in the South, are being ripped off left, right and centre.
