Am I smug?

It's a tough old life for UK beer-drinkers.  The Guardian reports:

Surrey has overtaken London as the most expensive place in the UK to buy a pint, according to the latest Good Pub Guide.

Despite the fact that a beer in the capital costs £4.20 on average, drinkers can expect to pay 20p more in the traditionally well-off county, where house prices are twice the UK average.

It is the only time since the guide was first published in 1982 that the average price in London has not been the highest in Britain.

...

The guide found that the average price of a pint of beer in Britain is £3.60, up 13p (3.7%) in a year, compared with a year-on-year rise of 1p in 2016.

Yesterday, I paid €1.30 (roughly £1.15) for a pint in my local hostelry on the Costa del Sol.
