ldnguy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 This time in Venice. Surely this must be illegal under EU law? http://www.thelocal.it/20150511/belgian-raises-alarm-over-venice-price-gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldnguy Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Maybe but who gives a flying fig what happens in Venice ? I was just adding some balance to the usual Thai bashing on here. Many don't realize that this also goes on in many Western countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Public toilets, meanwhile, are just 25 cents for residents but cost €1.50 for tourists. I'll bet that has some unintended consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 30 million visitors to a city of 59,000 people living there. I'd say even triple pricing for visitors might be appropriate to make up for the lack of tax base to maintain public services and facilities.

gerryBScot Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I remember getting turned over in a very famous bar in Venezia many moons ago when the lira was still the legal currency. Well they tried ....... as some famous opera star entered over whom the waiters were fawning, wrapping his focaccia in serviettes for him and they saw the wisdom of correcting their mistake as I was about to start throwing furniture! Them were the days, not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
