Woburn was nice
The oyster festival wasn't. There was only one stand selling oysters at £15 for 6 oysters, a pint of cheap stout and a little glass (200mil) of fizzy. Everything in that village is so expensive!

Ha ha, yes it's a bit of a rip off.
It's the premium you pay to pretend you're in middle England.

Buf
We paid £12 for a round of 3 pints!! Not even in London!

Of course, we had that round and went back to MK. So that's £15 taxi each way for an overpriced ale and 10 min in the funfair.

MK was lovely, though. A bit difficult to live in there if you don't have a car or a bike, but very pretty.

Ha, you should have just gone to the pubs,
they're cheaper than the stalls and usually do some oysters as well.

Mk is designed for the car but it's not that bad as long as you live nearish the center.

Oh, that was at the pub
we were told that they increase the prices during that weekend. We were so happy!

We have 2 friends in MK, both live near the center, but different centers, so it's a 30min bike ride to each other houses. Both have shops and a pub near their home, but if they want to meet, they need bikes or car.

Well, I'm not going again for sure
I can find lovely oysters in other places, for a reasonable price too.
