Haha. Definitely not. I actually compared a recent shopping bill to what I would pay in the UK and the British equivalent was more than twice what I paid in Spain. Whereas I would be at panic stations with a tenner to my name at home, it's not such a big deal here. Travel's cheaper, too. It's quite insulting when you consider how badly we're ripped off in the UK. The only place I've found to be more expensive is damned Switzerland, where their wages are much higher than ours, anyway. Feh.
