My favourite overpriced placed is Samantha's Nightclub in Exmouth. It was one of the few places to have a vaguely decent night out during my tenure there over the last few months, but you sure as hell paid for it.

On a saturday night you paid £7 entrance, then continued to put your hand in your pocket to the tune of £3 for a pint of the piss water that is Castlemaine.

I nearly had a heart attack when the bloke said "That's eight-forty please mate!" :shock:
I thought £3.00 was expensive enough, the thing that makes you laugh the most is that you can get the bigger bottles of WKD/Smirnoff etc in most Supermarkets for about £2.

The best is the Mr Smiths Night Club in Warrington, or according to TVDragon The Hit Man and Her Scally Club, which charges you £6.00 entrance fee on Fridays & Saturdays, then after that bottles are £3.00!

Anyway back to Europe...
Well I would like to stress that I have only been there twice, neither occasion I'd like to recall. The place is just wrong.

I'm certain I warned you not to go there ages ago, but you youngsters will make your own mistakes. It was all different when I was alive.

Mind you what's your alternative -- Warrington seems to be the only town I know without any discernible 'nice end'.

I've been there more times than you, but I haven't been in for a few months now, last time I went in was only because everyone else was. The problem is with there that it is full of under 18's. Though the choice of clubs has expanded a bit.

And regarding the 'nice end', I'm in it, granted we have a few chavs but nowhere near as bad as 'the other end' of town.

I'll be the first to put my hand up here and admit I WAS for the Euro, but only if the pound faultered.

However it hasn't & has remained strong & also taking into consideration it is nearly $2 in the US to £1 there's no need to get rid of it at all.
