Yes, though in universal beer units (~2x more expensive in Oslo) that's only 1.2 times more than the standard UK PhD studendship. Also the UK amount is tax free, so if you have to pay 28% on the Norwegian salary you might be better off being an impoverished student here...

If the pound and dollar will keep in falling down respect to the euro it will be soon convenient to have a postdoc in Italy (just kidding...but let's see...) !

Well, from this serious scientific study (link), it seems that beer is not good for your publication rate. So our high beer prices may give more productive Ph.D. students than cheap British pubs (now open non-stop). :-)
