They'll get over it.

/Premier League sucks.

...'or' or 'for'?

I never knew they accepted beef patties as legal tender on the other side of the Atlantic........

Got change for a Big Mac?

According to Yahoo finance, that's currently $15.85... I'd be pretty ticked off too.

"Pay me teh monies or no soccer match for you lol"

Tickets cost a hamburger now? When I was a kid they were only a pickle.

I wish I could pay for things with hamburgers.

outraged at having to pay £8 or a hamburger

You mean they have a choice in the matter?!

/Bastards.

I'd rather pay with hamburgers than $8. Most burgers are a lot cheaper than that.

At Fenway Park in Boston they sell you a 10oz cup of beer, and charge you five dollars. Personally, going to Fenway is a fun experience, but the seats are too small for a normal sized person. Any they pretty much gouge you on all food items.

Greatest thread.... evar....

/Not really
//However the use of a Hamburger as currency makes me snortle
///Really, I snortled

Badfrog Uh, well it doesn't quite work like that. The median earning wage in Britain is 447 pounds, but in the US it's $693, so in comparison, it's more like:

8/447=x/693

which is 8x693/447=x

which is $12.40 per burger.


Your numbers, which are according to the exchange rate between pounds and dollars does not apply unless you are an American traveling in Britain and just changed your dollars into pounds to buy that burger.

By the way, those are weekly median earning wages I posted.

If hamburgers really were a currency, they would end up costing a lot more than they do now. People hate dollar coins, just imagine how they would feel about carrying around pants stuffed with hamburgers all day!

/Some fat farkers would probably enjoy that

that silver bullet speaks for itself

skinink wins going away

In that case, some of them may become broke faster than any gambling addict or bum in human history.

/Aha! Once again, the conservative sandwich portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!
//SLURPSLURPSLUPSLUPSLSURP!!
///Oh! I'm ruined!

I don't know which is worse, paying £8 or a hamburger to see a fagball match, or just seeing a fagball match.

/kidding you silly hooligans

Badfrog: According to Yahoo finance, that's currently $15.85... I'd be pretty ticked off too.

Yeah, that's a raping and a paddling.

How much are the fish & chips

Everything in the UK is more expensive than stuff in the US. Americans need to quit biatching.

Britons come over here and think everything is cheap.

Maybe you get a discount for buying hamburgers in bulk.

/Or maybe you get a discount for paying with hamburgers.

BTW, if you want a nice cheap drunk football experience, go to Lambeau... It's still $6 for a 20oz beer. Five years ago they were 32oz beers, those greedy bastards!

I'd totally pay the hamburger for .. um, whatever they're paying for. Clearly that's less than 8 pounds.

/not trying to turn this into caturday, pt. deux
//would eat his own at a tailgate pregame
///would tailgate before a soccer game, if they don't already
////would also be a drunken hooligan

I'll gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today!

After living here in Wisconsin all my life, I have still never been to a live Packer game. Maybe I should go just once to say I did.

What's soccer?

hachijuhachi: What's soccer?

It's what Americans call what everyone else in the world thinks is football. Duh.

Although I came to watch the soccer match I can't possibly go more than 10 minutes without feeding my face.

Jeebus! Who eats hamburgers at a football match?

Steak and Kidney pie FTW!

And Ale.

/italics for the flame stoking.
//Doombar for the Ale.

8 pounds... That's roughly $15 US right? That's pretty outrageous, but it's typical of any vendor where there is a captive audience, such as a concert, movie theater, or sporting event.

It's a 'burger meal', i'm assuming some kind of chips are involved. It's expensive, but can't people go two hours without eating some form of grease? Pies. Pies are the way to go at a football match.

first result for 'cat thread' on google.

qft


are the brits able to bring in their own food? or are they stuck buying shiatty stadium food? coz you can bring in your own food/drink at most aussie stadiums, except cans and glass bottles.

suncorp stadium and dairy farmers stadium in qld are strict - no commercial foods, dunno about most other stadiums

£1.80 for water?

That's cheap compared to music festivals.

8 pounds is about 16 dollars so I don't think NFL fans have any room to sneer. And the price of a tickect for an EPL game would make the average US sports fan cry. I have no idea how they fill the stadiums as they do.

Do really good seats cost a steak? Maybe a roast?

Can you get a suite for a side of beef?

where can you get $5 beer in fenway? I paid $7.25 for guiness or its $6.75 for the cheap stuff.

Support teams that allow outside food and drink into their stadiums. I went to the Mets game last night; for the price of 2 hot dogs and a Coke, I had more take-out kimbap, bulgogi, and iced tea than I would ever be able to eat.

Stadium concessions will never be worth the money - even if the prices are reasonable, the food still has to be prepared elsewhere and brought in to sit for hours (particularly at older ballparks).

As a fan of proper football, I sneer at those mangy English dogs for not eating scotch pies and drinking Bovril.

Real-time football beats turn-based football anyday.

If you buy me one soccer game today, I will gladly give you two soccer games on Friday...



/ Damn straight that's not obscure.

$10? What's that in real money?
