10 AUD if you can get a special, 15 AUD otherwise. And maybe you get the place that doesn't do pints, only schooners but still charges pint prices for them.
But that's just a small town pub, pretty much everyone in there will be a local they don't get a lot of tourists around here.
A few miles away, but in more touristy parts, you can easily pay over £5.
So the moral of the story is that you need to live in a boring back water like I do. Around here if somebody gets their roof retiled it's practically in the local paper.
I nipped in the Admiralty on Trafalgar Sq last Saturday lunchtime for a swift one, expecting to get royally horsed for being in a) London, b) in a tourist hotspot, and c) generally daring to have a pint outside of my own home.
£6.50. I wasn't even mad. I thought it was even cheap given the above factors, even if it was Amstel.
In my local though, £4.10 for a pint of best or something similar.
Offtopic: I ordered two large blonde lattes at the local Starbucks, and it was £10.10. it's literally cheaper to go on the piss than drink average-but-decent coffee now.
Costco toilet rolls are the superior product, my friends. Trouble is you get something like 48 rolls in a wholesale packet - so you need somewhere to stash them.
I don't believe that's irony. That's just "good business".
Irony would be selling you something to reduce the amount of storage space required (e.g. those vacuum bags) but they're sold, in bulk, in massive containers taking up the room they were supposed to create for you.
Just buy a garden shed and fill it with bog roll. The next time there's a pandemic, sell it to Australians as individual rolls for 10x market value. Like a sort of strategic reserve.
I go with quilted. Not artisinal, hand-crafted, 8-ply quilted with a 3000 thread count of Egyptian cotton, but... heh... wait for it... bog standard supermarket own brand quilted. See what I did there? No? I'll let myself out.
There's crisps and a massive gherkin too. We don't even know what flavour of crisps they are. Was the thickness of the slices of tomato a deliberate choice? So many questions.
You might feel like that but… what kind of lettuce? What breed of tomatoes? What cut of bacon: back, middle, or streaky? Smoked or unsmoked? Fried, grilled, or baked? What kind of bread? Any butter? Mayonnaise? Salad cream? Any salt and pepper? If pepper, black or white?
A great BLT is a thing of utter joy, easily and deservedly one of the best sarnies in the world. But the details matter.
