On: London, it’s over, and it’s not me, it’s you

I don't agree with his negative attitude, but I don't think he's far off in terms of his facts:

- I think nine pounds for two pints of ale is about right anywhere in London. Go somewhere a bit cool and it's easily over ten

- I pay £1400 for a two bed in zone 2 which is cheap, I think the average is around £1600. I recently started looking at one beds in the same area and they are around £1200

I used to live in Chelsea (zone 1) in 1 bedroom flat and was paying 1300. This was last year.

- nine pounds a pint is excessive. Even at Hawksmoor it's half that. Wetherspoons a third that. Simply not true.

- yes, zone 2. He talks about zone 4.

He says 9 pounds for two pints. £4.50 a pint sounds about right for London.

Oh ouch, that was my incredibly dumb mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.
