Zeppelin. Not Led.

Well, technically the name was Ballonfabrik.

Noted for future bonus points.

Edit: not sure why, but I always remember Battersea as Battlesea.

Hipgnosis design album sleeves, I doubt they'd construct the balloon themselves.

Just out of curiosity, how much should I expect to pay for a beer in the UK?

It's looking now like I'll be there in early May. Cheaper airfare.

The price depends on what and where you are drinking. A can of Pisswasser Lager in Jim's front room is cheaper than a pint of Speckled Hen in a London pub.

I found a couple of sites that show beer prices, and what did my eyes see? Coors selling for $11 US a pint. Budweiser was a buck or two cheaper. I buy a six-pack of 16-oz. Bud for about half that ($6.65) down at the corner market. Somebody's wallet was plundered if you ask me.

In my local club beer is £1.40 a pint but that isn't the norm elsewhere.

Prices vary dependant on area and brand.
