Barca is bad, Madrid is bad too. You have to keep your wits all the time. London should have been on this list.

Also I've had bag snatched in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria.

Perhaps it is tempting fate, but I have never been subject to a robbery of any kind, well except for that carried out by Nicosia pubs that charge €6 for a pint of KEO!

Even in the very good days of Sterling (1.45) back in 2006 it would have set you back a whopping £4.20 sterling.

You pay those prices in lap dancing clubs :wink: CBBB? :)

Why is Barcelona such a bad city for pickpockets? Surely there's plenty of tourists for them there. Those americans especially should make for easy pickings. :D

That is what you pay in some of the places, the cheaper ones that I frequent are €4 a pint, still nearly £4 which is more than you pay in pubs in the West End.
