It is 2.5 tanks of gas (if one has a family sized car/suv). It is the price for dinner for 2 at a moderately priced London restaurant (with drinks). It is the price of 2-3 textbooks. <br><br>US students are not seriously cashed up, but $200 is the entry point for any slightly decent phone at any of the mobile shops here, unless you want one of the crap crap crap crap flip phones that comes free or nearly so.<br><br>I have watched students in the UK & Ireland spend nearly that much on drinking over a weekend (£100). So, a new mobile or getting really F'ing pissed. You choose.msjenFri, 13 Jun 2008 00:18:49 -0000
