Nothing like the thrill of discovering that you can get four pints of the best, freshest
Pilsner Urquel in a good pub in Prague for the price of a single pint of Fuller's,
Greene King, or any other real ale in London. If anyone's planning a trip to include
both cities, make sure to do London first, then Prague, otherwise the shock of the price
differential will make you too depressed to have more than a single pint in London.
