A very strange evening at the O2 last night.  We went to see the spectacular Monkey - Journey to the West, a Chinese opera style production mixed with cartoons.  I couldn't tell you for all the money in the world what the story was about but it was impressively staged.  What was also impressive was the heroic prices charged in the bar next door.  For one and a half cans of Diet Coke (we watched the barman pour the drinks) and a small cup of rice crackers (which came with free random bits of popcorn and a stray beer cap...) we paid the grand total of £7.50.  Recession?  Apparently not in Greenwich.  Next time I'll take a flask and a sandwich.
