severnsider Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Prices have been not too bad. Had a nice meal inc free coffee & salad for 89sek on the lunch menu. Thought it was cheaper than Gothenburg (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josietoms Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Where did you buy that? A recommendation is to buy drinks like cokes at supermarkets and etc. usually you can get a 1.5L for 1.5£-2£ We didn't arrive in Stockholm till late so brought the Heineken from the hotel. Always more expensive in hotels I know but that was taking the p**s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Sweden is expensive shock!!!! Next you'll be telling me it is very hot in Kuwait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Been in Stockholm since Tuesday and I can vouch for the prices being high. Mind you, if you check it out before you go anywhere nothing should really surprise you then. You can shop around and there are cheaper beers, coffee, metro travel, etc, if you ask the right people. Never going to be UK prices and value but made up with the gorgeous women out here. Beats Geordie Shore hands down. Why can't Brit females have as much respect for themselves as the Swedish girls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 For shopping go to the Jakobsberg outlet centre. Thats the place to spend your money on clothes and some of them are even really cheap. http://qualityoutlet.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) If you think Stockholm is expensive, wait until you get to Helsinki, Copenhagen and especially Oslo. Also if you want to try out a Swedish speciality, I can recommend this: Fried Herring at Södermalmstorg. Open Sat-Sun 12:00-17:00. http://www.tripadvis...-Stockholm.html http://www.yelp.se/biz/str%C3%B6mmingsvagnen-stockholm I have idea about the price level but the this "Fish wagon" is very popular. Get your "drinks" to it from Ica Nära at Östgötagatan 6, Stockholm Edited September 21, 2013 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK you get this message - i think the "Go Home" means to go to the home page and not bleep off lol. Sorry, this event is not available in your area The owner of this event has chosen to block certain areas of the world. Unfortunately your area didn't make the cut.

The Doctor... Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I did warn everybody lol. Many moons ago, myself and fellow listee Rico went over for the Stockholm gp when it was held in that lovely old stadium. The first time we went, we stayed for a couple of days and spent a frightening amount - the second year we got the first flight out of heathrow on the saturday morning, spent the day doing a little drinking, went to the gp, then just stayed out til sunday morning and got the first flight back... It was mid summer and it literally got dark for about half an hour, or so it felt, and it will live long in my memory as one of my most memorable nights. Total and utter carnage obviously, with some horrific tales, but an amazing time nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i know i just had a glance at the Wikipedia page for Stockholm and it divides the city's history into two distinct eras the Grandiose days of 'pre Doctor/Rico tour' and the post apocalyptic 'post Doctor/Rico tour' lol.

Fine thanks and already looking forward to the return of Emil Sayfutdinov and Chris Holder next year, what a series we'll have lined up. Hope you living on high ground in view of the awful deluge and it's continuing aftermath in Colorado recently. Got a couple of friends in that state but fortunately they dodged it all. It would be nice to see the Swedish riders do well tonight they certainly got some very loud cheers in the first race. HEAT 2 !!!!!!!!! Surely he is ok isn't he? Might just be the Eurosport directors asking him to stay sat down for drama? (ok i admit i got my fingers tightly crossed) Above is a joke by the way. We're not seeing any pictures at all of Tomasz, just eternal crowd shots, no desire to 'rubber neck' but would like to know the extent of his movement or relative lack of.
