Hi,
Now you mention having to pay for a pint in London Scarlett ,i can recall fitting the bar/restaurant at the MASH bar in London maybe 7 years ago and they were asking about £7 - £7.50p in the bar for just half a lager even back then

so even though the prices in europe are not so good because of the exchange rate....they may not actually be that bad after all in comparison.
Mind you the cheaper the plonk the better
