One thing is for certain - the world I live in is a hell of a lot closer to reality than the one you inhabit!!

Paris was expensive when I first went in 1981. You want to try Stockholm, Rekjavik and Helsinki, it will make your cry if you have to buy a round.

Unlike you I don't need to avail myself of such services - I am surprised you would reveal this to this particular audience

£6.50 was the cheapest beer I found when I went there to watch England in November!

Actually, I am gobsmacked at that price, we paid £3 a pint in 1979 on a navy visit, ironically England also played Sweden during that visit and we got free tickets, it was a 0-o draw, but we had beers with the players and gave them an invite to the ship. Dave Watson (Man City not Everton ), Ray Clemence and a couple of other turned up.

We're off to Collioure again in August. I'm setting myself a crazy agenda: blogging in the morning before going out (I'm always up first), Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain on the beach and then a serious onslaught on writing a book in the evenings, over a glass of wine, on the terrace overlooking the sea.

Can hardly wait.

Sounds romantically Hemingwayesque.
