Interesting Fact - Cost of Living
According to the 2012 league table of food and drink costs, Britain pays more for food and alcohol than most of Europe.
( The staples, milk, cheese and eggs are 7% more expensive and across all food and non-alcoholic drinks, the UK pays 4% above the EU27. In the same study, Norway came out as the most expensive for food and drink and Macedonia the cheapest.

All this came as no surprise to me; doing a food shop in the UK is always more expensive than Germany, but the biggest surprise is alcohol in the UK is around 43% above the European Union average, in France alcohol costs are 12% below the average and Germany 18% lower. However, this is not why I moved to Germany.)
