Yet now £180 in London
Maybe she knows there are some irresponsible punters in the NW 
If someone punts from investments, and pays themselves a monthly salary. They get wealthier, and have play money each month.
There's nothing irresponsible about that, I guess you mean irresponsibly inflating prices to make them unaffordable to others. I'm happy to help others but not if it means depriving myself of something I want to do.
I just sought out information about another one who i'm sure you'll add to the ptpt thread, I like that thread it's great for my hot list

I'm going to ignore discussions/comments on price from now on since I do realise I'm out of touch with a fair bit of the region. I'll just treat those comments like I do most parlour reviews, see them and scroll on
