Haha yeah. A decent cider in my towns pub was only £2.40 and a share pack of crisps was around 1.50(ish), it was class. That was when things were considered “hard” too, makes you realise how far we’ve fallen off.

They’re not uptight. I think that the cost of living doesn’t leave them with enough to justify the bloated price of alcohol, these days. People are also a lot more health conscious and would rather spend their money on items that give them enjoyment with less negative consequences.

Shit, when I used to go clubbing (2010’s) I could make a good night with £20 or £30. Everything is so expensive now. Back then, a pint was between £2.50 and £3.50 and entry to a club was a fiver.

As far as tradespeople go, most of my financially savvy friends go off to Australia, Canada or the US because the wages are much higher for trade work and the cost of living is generally better - no accounting for the mega-cities, which dramatically increase their average.

I don’t understand why you say ‘in the places where you have no jobs, the houses are cheaper’, that’s the same in any country or am I missing a point here? I’m saying that for square footage, the houses are more affordable on average in Canada than they are in the U.K.
