Yeah, that was the Lidl, frequent by the Toulousain equivalent of the Library Square mob



We did go in the Chinese but changed our minds after seeing some of the stuff, the one we went to was a couple of doors further down.

When me and matt went to paris for the england match last year, we bought a bottle of rose for 1euro 34, not the best ive ever had but it did the trick. i spent about £200 this time around and even less for the limoux trip but my phonebill made that back up!

It didn't taste too bad after the first few glasses

i'm waiting for Malta to get a team they have a wine called Marsalla for sale there at 1.35Euros a bottle with .17c back on the bottle, its good'n'al,l i was there earlier this year and stopped a few bottles from going bad

Shall I see if I can e-mail Joe Grima and tell him to get a move on with setting a club up there?

no just make sure the house isnt in a mess for when me n your mum gets back tomorrow

you mean in the same way uk pubs rip off it's customers for red wine etc ?

Sanjunien last season to get a drink in the bar at the Toulouse ground you had to get tokens. Do they still have that system as I have about 7 left over from last season ?

Re the beer I am sure I got a pint of beer in the Melting pot for 4 euro 50 cents. Anyways I think the restaurants are very good value and also most of us were only in Toulouse for two days.

The bar in the Market Hall near the Melting pot is very good and friendly and I got a glass of red wine in there for 2 euros. You get get a sandwich or cooked meat from the surrounding stalls and eat that at the bar. Everyone was very friendly and one French lad bought me and 2 others a round of drinks.

I certainly hope so cos' i've still a load from last season - normally they will use the same system but will confirm it when we go down for the TO v Catalan friendly on the 29th

I've been either living or visiting france since the early 70s and beer has always been relatively expensive,probably cos' the wine was always considered as part of the staple diet of the french people - beer consumption has traditionally been miniscule compared to other countries like the uk.The supermarket beer is dirt cheap so it makes you wonder what the mark-up is when sold commercially ? even the wine is expensive in the restaurants (big mark-up again) but the cheapest option is to ask for a 'pichet' or jug of wine which will be the cheapest wine but not necessarily the worst wine.
Look forward to seeing you there,bon voyage

About 7 Euros a pint on average. Friday night, all day Saturday and most of Sunday - so quite a bit of beer.
I bought tokens on the ground last year, the same number as my mates and spent the lot! Cant understand why one of them still has 7 left!!! Will have to watch him this year!
Also allow 30 euros for food.
Last pint I had last year was the best but cant remember what it was - was there a 1664 white beer? - very vague recollection only.

correct along with all the other (bieres blondes) largery type beers - they all taste pretty much the same to me though I prefer the Loburg if it's on tap - there's always your bog standard Stella of course.The 24 packs from the supermarkets are still great value if you can smuggle them into the ground....

Actually having checked I have 4 left. PS I bought first and last in the Melting Pot Saturday night and re the food we always split the bill and you order more than I do.

Sent my passport for renewal this morning will let you have details when the new one arrives ok. I will phone you to save you the cost of the call.

Marsala is Italian. You could always drink it when you go over for the RFU Six nations

Scilian actually

I'd have thought it'd be Sicilian?

www.bestofsicily.com/marsala.htm#mozia.

that has to be the most boring link ever made !

Sicily is a region of Italy. It is Italys largest island.

Well that is because I wanted another poster (not on this thread) to see his advice about how to post links has been successfully taken on board.

Re Marsala not for me as I think it is very sweet ie the wine/sherry not the place.

Duly noted, many thanks !!

for gawds sake never pay any more than €2.50 for a bottle of wine in france - anyone that does is simply being pretentious !

Frank you would drink boiling Tar in the Goose ,if Henry was buying.

What do you mean IF

Speaking of Toulouse, Jimmy85 has good news. Got the full week off, cant remember any prices at all, my only advice is 'Dont miss the plane home'. Heres to Toulouse 2011
