A cheap night out in London
P=Presenter D=Dominique R=Rob
P: ... on this week's £15
challenge. We're going to send two people out for a night in London, and
their challenge is to have a good night out, but not spend more than £15. So,
is it possible? Well, we're going to find out. We've asked Dominique and Rob to
spend an evening in London, and not spend more than £15. So, let's speak to
Dominique first. Hi. Dominique.
D: HL George,
P: Tell us, Dominique, what
are your plans?
D: Well, first of all, IÕm
going to see a free art exhibition at the Tate Modern. I don't normally like
modern art, so I hope it's OK. Then IÕm meeting some friends and we're going to
a concert at a pub called The King's Head. There's a free band playing and so I
only need to pay for my drinks. Afterwards weÕre having dinner in Brick Lane
where there are lots of Indian restaurants. TheyÕve told me that if you go to
one of the restaurants there at 10PM, you can get a free meal. I don't know if
thatÕs true, but IÕm going to try anyway. Then I'm getting the bus home. A taxi
is too expensive.
P: That sounds great. Have
a good evening, and you can tell us all about it tomorrow.
D: I will.
P: Our second volunteer is
Rob. Rob, can you tell us about your evening?
R: Yes. I'm starting the
evening with a visit to a museum, too. I'm going to the National Gallery to see
the paintings there. They stay open one night a week, and its free, Then IÕm
going to Covent Garden to watch the street entertainers. Um... that's free,
too. And after that, IÕm going to watch some comedy. There's a really good
comedy club just near Covent Garden. It's £8 to get in. I'm not having dinner.
There isnÕt enough time.
P: Thanks, Rob. Enjoy your
evening, and donÕt forgetÉ
