    Just tell people you're seriously skint and you can't do the meal but will do the pub because you wouldn't miss that for the world. If anyone offers to pay for your meal, say you'll accept a loan but not a gift and tell them WHEN you'll be paying them back.
    You're not the first skint student, and you certainly won't be the last.

    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    I'm a student, the drinks would be a lot more important than the meal! A tenner in our SU bar goes a rather long way.

    A pint of lemonade in a student bar will cost next-to-nothing and can last the whole night if you sip it slowly... :beer:
