Cafe owner appointed new Governor of the Bank of England!
Had my usual breakfast, two eggs on crusty toast with mushrooms and a tea, this morning in my usual cafe. Went up to the counter to pay the £3.30 and was told by the owner "prices have gone up mate, it's £4 now", when i remonstrated with him about the price hike he shrugged his shoulders and said "commodity markets, mate!"
He uses the cheapest battery eggs, cheapest bread, bog standard (not wild) mushrooms, industrial strength margarine and wholesalers special teabags, what about overheads i hear you say, well its not bloody Claridges!!!
