The rate was 1.83 Lev to �1 in credit union
In the banks it was was 1.75.
Took credit union week to get Lev in, ring your local credit union and order it today , if your not in credit union just ring and quote a family or friend name that is a member in your local credit union , thats what we did

Pints a euro each on average, grub bound to be reasonably priced outside the main gafs, say 6/7 euros for a good feed, 3 of those a day. Everything within walking distance if your in around the centre. Maybe 20 - 30 euros each night for when your ****ed and cant remember what mad drinks and other things you were paying for.

So I'd say handy 60/70 a day, and be doing well to spend that.

It's cheap over there so you probably won't need a lot. Save it and you can make Cyprus your 2nd away trip

There is a Wetherspoons is the south terminal but no O' Neills anymore. I havent been in the North terminal in an awful long time, so I cant comment on that.

However, the south terminal is being re-vamped and the security area is a mess now so give it extra time, if you are passing through during peak hours.

I know a little off topic but jesus that is one thing I hate about the UK is the idea of pub chains. O Neils and wetherspoons and the like. Horrible horrible places.

ya you are right, atmosphere wise they are generally full of chavy types, like hornet etc. Having said that i have a loyalty card for oneills in liechester square because i go there a "bit" too ofren and its a good spot, especially if its a weekend and you are on the lookout. But your point is correct, these places are crap and close around 11.30 and have no atmosphere what so ever, that oneills down in Putney is a perfect example big open space but boring even when it was full of celtic fans for those matches. The bigger issue is its all brewery owned, not many freehouses to be honest and those that are are generally dingy Irish pubs ( though I like dingy Irish pubs!!). Porterhouse is the only freehold i can think of in London thats any good.
