Just imagining myself waking up as a small grocer this morning the 1st of October.
Looking at my shelves of 4-litre bottles of milk at £1.50 a bottle and thinking that three things could justify me charging you double for your milk from today.
The minimum wage bill is increased from today. Let's put 50p on that bottle of milk! More cattle slaughtered over the weekend. Let's put another 50p on that bottle of milk! Ah!! Petrol Prices causing transport prices to go up. Lets put another 50p on that bottle of milk!
£3 Sir please. But it's ok as it is an "environmentally friendly" price increase. "Mental" being the appropriate part of "environmental"!!
I Can Charge You Double From Today
I noticed this today, too!
Midnight and Britain became an even more ridiculously expensive place to live. It pisses me off.
No wonder American tourists walk round London in a state of shock when they realise a cup of coffee is gonna cost them $6.00
I was in London last week and my friend and I wandered around Covent Garden and popped into a pub there for a quick afternoon pint. Two pints cost £8.60 ($17.20)!!!!!!
I nearly cried.

I think it was the punch and judy near Leicester square.rts wrote:Which pub was it?
It's not uncommon to see shifty looking people crack open a can under the table and discreetly decanter it into their pint glass.
That or go to Wetherspoons.
Whatever it was, it was a bit of a shit hole with grumpy bar staff.

That's what I was thinking. Covent Garden rates won't be cheap.
Yeah, but never been charged £4.30 a pint before.Sput wrote:Have you not been to London before?Jamez wrote:Two pints cost £8.60 ($17.20)!!!!!!

In Cardiff I've been charged £8.10 for 2 bottles of some WKD/Smirnoff/Alcopop shite before, but I expected that as it was the Hilton hotel. But not some shitty dive in a covent garden back street.
