Eastenders!!!

Anyone else see this tonight?? Phil gives Denise £500 and asks how long this gets Shirley in the B&B - and she says 2 months!! Really!! East London B&B @ £8.16 a night???? Before someone tells me it's not real, I do know this - but realistic would be good!! Surely!!

[sara3]

yes, I was doing a brief mental calculation too!

[March-Hare]

Bloody ridiculous Sara ...... wish my rent was £8 a night, even without breakfast!!! Lol x

[sherrardk]

Maybe you get a discount for bulk buying.

[DJHawkes]

she'll book in for a week and blow the rest

[elliemay1]

I wondered how so many of them could afford the B&B!

[silliemillie]

Maybe she meant after housing benefit? I HOPE the £8 was just the top up otherwise totally unrealistic.

[March-Hare]

Never thought of that Sillie Millie!! You may be right - hope so anyway - otherwise I want a rent review here!!

Leave iiiit. It's jast not wurf it.

What would a week in a B&B cost in London? I'd guess about £200.

[March-Hare]

At least that I would think.

[gingejbee]

Is this any less realistic than everybody eating/snacking in a cafe, when they live 25 seconds away? (don't watch EE, but doesn't it happen in all soaps?)

[Octavius]

Cheapest I could find in Hackney was £37 per night for a double room, although to be fiar it looked fairly decent on the inside. Hostels would be around £11 per night.

[grumpy01]

Perhaps Corrie could have that annoying fireman put up there for a while.

[emmie]

a B&B in the East End are they sure...

[emmie]

seems a bit cheaper but doubt you would get a lot for your wonga

Sandyr, East End London, so you can get deals, perhaps you meant in the centre, same there i suspect. Posh hotels can charge what they like, long time since in stayed in one.

[emmie]

i wonder who wrote the blurb, it's quite funny

Hostal 8 in Brent N London 13€ per night, not too bad!
