So my mums comeing over in April and I thought I would take her to a show - WTF!!!
 

I wont see her for mothers day so I thought I would do this instead.

I want to see 'The Book Of Mormon' - The seats are 100 quid each!

Then there would be a meal and drinks, a taxi home - Easily 400 pounds.

That's US$600 for night out.

I'll send her a fucking card........

movies here are only $5

Guess you could take her on a free tour to the old folks home, see what places she likes

Its not that I don't want to spend the money - I just hate feeling ripped off.

then choose cheaper food and taxi? 600usd, seriously? that is my bday for full weekend, tons of quality food, drinks, for 20 people!

do it. :2 cents:

buy mc donalds, pizza, some wine in paper box, and have a great eve watching some borrowed dvd at home :) 50 usd and here we go, its no ripoff! :) oh but wait, you are talking about your mothers bday ... :winkwink: you know what i mean :)

Its not her birthday its 'Mother's Day' - Its the 10th March - Maybe you don't have it in the US.

Edit: oooops - Or Poland..

oh sorry then missunderstood, then i am getting flowers with kiss, was always good in our family :)

I never understand this. Whether you get ripped off or not, does it really matter if you have a wonderful, unique experience? Sure, you feel slighted, but you still have a wonderful time that you would not have otherwise.

Take your mum to the show, skip dinner.

i don't know why you would be complaining about the price of tickets when the food drink and transportation is four times the cost.

I haven't seen it myself, but the Book of Mormon is supposed to be the best and funniest of all of the shows to see. I'm sure it is money well spent. Forget the price and enjoy yourself!

I wish my mother was still around so I could spend money on her …….

I have been in London several times and 2 people can eat, drink and get a cab home for much less than 200 pounds.
