Now I don't mean something that was expensive but you really enjoyed, but where you felt ripped off.

I'll start.

26 euros for two Sprite's in Paris.

And this was circa 2014.

£24 for two red wines in a London theatre a few years ago. Doesn't seem that bad now but at the time I was fuming.

80Euros for 2 brandies in an admittedly very nice hotel in Venice - still smarts.

$24 dollars for 2 G&T in Times Square (I know, I know) about 14 years ago - robbing bastards - now that would be a bargain.

£8 for half (!) a lager in London last weekend.

There's a theme here...

G&T price doesn't seem outrageous, even for 2012.
