prices in England

Hello! I am a teacher in Japan and we are doing a lesson on England next week. Could someone who is traveling there now tell me the prices of the following items? Thnx in advance...

1) vending machine can of cola / PET bottle of soda
2) apple (in the supermarket)
3) book
4) movie ticket (adult)
5) candy bar (regular size)
6) McDonald's big mac value meal
7) CD
8) DVD

Thanks a bunch!!

1) 330ml can of coke = 50p-65p. Bottle of coke = 80p to £1.
2) 20p
3) Very hard to say; the latest harry potter for example ranges in price from £5 (if you buy £50 of shopping as well) to a more usual £8.99). Supermarkets currently have a price war on books and are leaving the traditional book sellers such as WH Smiths and Waterstones well in the shade.
4) £5.50
5) 40p
6) I have no idea.
7) Same as 3 - supermarkets having price wars; something in the top ten that's just been released as a single cd would be circa £8-12.
8) See point 7, you often get 3 for £20 on the older stuff, but a new one would be circa £15 if it comes with a second disk with pointless director commentary deleted scenes etc.

NB: These are Birmingham prices - take off 5% for the North of the UK, add on about 5-10% for London.

You will find England expensive. For 3, 7 and 8 the best value can be found by shopping on the Internet which would be difficult for a tourist.

Depends where you live as well.

My prices are higher than Fwoggies for example

1) vending machine can of cola / PET bottle of soda £1
2) apple (in the supermarket) 40p
3) book £6.99 is the jacket price of most paperbacks
4) movie ticket (adult) £9
5) candy bar (regular size) i dont eat candy
6) McDonald's big mac value meal ditto
7) CD depending onwhere you buy it or what CD it is £3-17
8) DVD dont buy them

Big mac meal is £2.99 I think. DVD's for new cinima releases are £2 from the bootleg sellers in pubs and supermarket carparks.

big mac meal is £3.29 or £3.69 for large.

Hi,

Over here we have this thing called the Internet. Shops and cinemas and stores advertise their goods online and hope you buy them. Odeon.co.uk for cinema, tesco.com for groceries and CDs, goldenarches.com for big mac etc.

I just think you should get your students to find out these things for themselves, rather than have someone do the research for them.

#6 why? that may not be the way the OP has chosen to structure her lesson. She did ask very politely.

You do realise that most of you shouldn't have answered:

Could someone who is traveling there now tell me the prices of the following items?

...

(And no, I wouldn't have posted that before the question had been answered).

same economic difference....

yozzer - you're right. I was rude. I apologise to the OP. Sorry!

now I feel bad, sorry dude - group hug
