Yes, I know, statistics, statistics etc. and how can one prove anything with a survey base of 600 when the potential population size (for a whole month) is in the region of 2.8 million, but I am inclined to give professional market researchers the benefit of the doubt. Put it this way, I have a confidence level of 95% in the validity of their findings with a margin of error (the benefit of the doubt) of plus or minus five per cent.

How much is a coffee in the UK, 3.50€? A bottle of beer, 5€ ? So which country is a rip off?
I've always found it odd that Brits in particular think it's expensive here, because in England, £100 per night gets you an old dumpy room where you'll be lucky to have your own private bathroom. I paid £17 for a mediocre fish and chips in Southend a couple of years back. Most of our guests are German, and many say they not only love being here, but as a bonus, it's much less expensive than Germany. And really, unless you only eat at seafront resort places, it's really not that expensive here. Not compared with elsewhere. Anyone been to Switzerland lately? I have. After you get back, tell me again how expensive Mallorca is.
You clearly love a good bit of data, Andrew. Perception, as they say, is king and it drives the market. There’s a difference between expensive and overpriced. Mallorca is in the latter category as it doesn’t give anything like good enough value for money. The PP, if they ever get to form a government, need to act on real data and legislate accordingly rather than just blindly implementing the reverse policy to the previous administration out of political spite.
