    when we went to south africa coca cola was only 25p-in the petrol stations!!!!
    i didnt buy it from normal shops as we went in the car everywhere, but i imagine it was even cheaper.
    also u can buy it from sellers at the traffic lights on main roads at around 50p for 5...i didnt do this tho-my b-i-l told me that nine times out of 10 these ppl are waiting 4 you 2 get ur wallet out so they could grab it-if u run after them-they're mate nicks your car...so the bottle of coke becomes more expensive then in britain lol

    point is it makes me sick to think what the profit coca cola must make here as opposed 2 the rest of the world
