Took dd today. Bus fares into town and back£4.00, tickets £12.00 ( one adult one child in cheapest cinema, many more much much more expensive) booking fee £1.55 ( just the mention of booking fees sends me into meltdown).
Bottle of juice and small bag of seats purchased outside cinema, am never going to pay their prices) total about £ 21.00.

And yet! And yet! Massive queues of people forking out for nachos, hot dogs, popcorn etc etc. How do people afford this.!? Am totally mystified. By people I mean normal people who only go now and then to take kids, not ones who are members of clubs. If I had bought the crap in the cinema, total would have been nearer £30.00. To see a a 90 minute film. How much is that per minute? 60p a minute?

And as for 3d. Have never ever seen it, as refuse to pay for it, and never will!

My OH once had to stop me walking out of a film and demanding my money back as the film was so bloody awful. I was so enraged that I had spent close to £15 to see it.

We also walked out once as they had oversold the seating for that screen, and more people were coming in after us. Bloody joke.
