You are SO right! In the Uk we couldn't even afford to smoke! It's about 40QR a pack of 20 there. the fluctuation in price works both ways. Sometimes they have UK imports in Megamart for a few riyals, must have been an admin error but you won't hear me complaining!
One last thought...I come from a nation that has regulated and monitered everything, including our thoughts. Yesterday a guy was fired from his job because he was having a private conversation while on a meal break and happened to discuss religion with his colleague. I think this is a dangerous path to follow. At the moment Qatar, despite it's quirks, is largely a safe and happy place to live. Once you let the authorities worry that everything is too expensive, or too dangerous, we will all leave because the only way to regulate society in a controlling manner is to TAX US ALL TO DEATH!
