It's about the principle of it. If the bill was huge, and one person had a lobster and a $10000 wine, and the other had a soup and a salad and expected a /2, that wouldn't be fair.

Yes. Which is why I said "I get if if the difference is big". Did you not see that?
In this case, it isn't a big difference. So your example doesn't remotely apply.

It's not an example. It's a precept. A principle. Going dutch. Doesn't mean an even split. It means you pay for you.

Seems like a really dumb principle. I don't mind paying a pound more than a friend.

You're better than all of us. You'll sleep better with that knowledge, I'm sure.

Yeah thanks, I do think approaching splitting a bill my way does make me a better friend!
