we holidayed in Jersey soem years back and really enjoyed it. But some friends went last year and said they found it too expensive and disappointing. I guess you can't please everyone. This little chap looks happy enough anyway.
What a shame your friends thought it was expensive. Some things were very much cheaper than the mainland. Petrol is one of them. I know Stuart commented several time! Petrol locally is nearly 133p a litre in Jersey it was 120p a litre and that included road tax, whereas we pay road tax on top! We didn't go into a supermarket, but I would expect things to be priced the same, of course there are none of the main chains on the island - lots of co-ops and a Waitrose.
This little chap was indeed very happy, especially when the boys on the next table fed them bits of sandwich!
