If you're a player, nights out should ALWAYS be free in london? I think London's prices are a misconception; food and clothes shopping costs the same as anywhere, travel is actually quite cheap (my monthly travel card is bout £57). The only thing that can sting you is rent/mortgage, and even that can be cheap in certain areas, my rent is only £240 a month all inclusive AND its a nice (albeit shared) house.Stevie S wrote:£200-£250 a weeks the average round here too. Whats your line of business then Oak? When i was last down london it happend to be twice as expensive as here too. Night out cost a weeks wage.

This brings up additional, more serious issues.jeffvickers wrote:£250 Take Home Pay - Average Manual Worker (£7.50ph before tax)
- £100 Rent/Mortgage min. - £15 Council Tax = £135 NET
£62 DSS/Sick/Idle Pay
- £0 Rent £0 Council Tax = £62 NET
£135 - £62 = £73 £73 surplus into a 5 day working week = £14.60 Revised figure. So if I go out and make more than £14.60 (easily achievable after 2 hours work) for a 5 day week, I am better off that someone who grafts his arse off all week.

you don't know its gonna cost over a ton [when its blocking, keeps going flat etc] till you get involved, if its full and playing nicely you will do ok most of the time.
