Nice one Jah, thats a lot of dosh.

I feel my age - at 41 - when I'm out with younger mates and they talk of spending ?100-?200 on a night out which seems to be a regular occurance for them. I can get completely shitfaced for ?50. Maybe ?100+ per night is normal for people without mortgage and kids.


Having said that I, with some friends, spent ?175 each on a meal just before christmas - I guess thats the grown up way to blow a load of money. And even then I was still hungry and had a cornish pasty on the way home. But then it was christmas.

Still prowling the streets after dark Tony? One of my lieutenants said he saw you stealing change from the toll booth on College rd last night. I wouldn't normally mind this type of scallywagery but for christ sake Tony put some clothes on first eh.

It was the tasting menu at Lindsay House - I knew we would top the ?100 mark as once a year we go out and it always does - but although the tasting menu came with wine, one friend thought the restaurant selection was not right for one of the courses !! - hence we bought more wine. The tasting menu with selected wine, one half glass per course, was ?117, before other wine and brandy,coffee etc. I was not too surprised at the final bill, but we will probably do something a little less expensive next year.


The point I was making is that young people seem to be able to do that amount of money on a night out drinking these days, which amazes me, thats where I feel may age, as a homeowner you tend to have to budget for these big nights out, but I guess I've had my time....

Far enough Mick but at ?179 per head...:'(:)

TLS - Isn't it more surprising that people can do a similar amount of money on a night out drinking in west in bars though. At least I get a decent culinary experience for my money.


Fellow forumite Jah spent ?400 on a weekend, just enjoying himself presumably, thats what young people do.

Youth is wasted on the Young we know that, Mick...sigh

If I'm getting pissed in the pub with the lads on a friday, usually the crapitol in fozzy hill but sometimes the Bishop on LL then I'll usually spend a maximum of ?40 inluding burger and bus home.


Out on the town.


Bottle of Vodka at ?6.50 from sainsburys between two.

2 or 3 jars in the spoons on leicster square ?10.

2 grams of marching powder ?100 shared out between 4=?25 each.

Few bottles of stabalising fluid in the appointed venue, xy amount.

176 night bus home.


?60 to 70 max.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
