My guess is its the luxury ham that did it.

It’ll be the ‘toasted’ and the ‘eat in’

It’s hard to find a decent local cafe in my neck of the woods.
The hospitality business is struggling at the moment!

Does “Luxury” Ham come from a posh Pig?

It makes a reassuringly expensive sandwich.

14 dollars or £7.50 seems pricey for a sandwich - even if the ham is first rate. But a quick check on UK sandwich prices shows a Pret a Manger ham & cheese baguette comes in at £6.25 so not much cheaper. And if you go to the chain Joe & the Juice their sandwiches all seem to be £9.40 so more expensive. Life is simply insanely expensive now. !2 years ago when I still lived and worked in London the Pret normal sized latte was £2.10. It is now £4.05. That is a 93% hike in 12 years - or something like 6% each year (cumulative). Inflation was not been 6% for all those years so someone is extracting more from our pockets than they should - and extracting the urine.

Those prices are quite reasonable.

I think I can match that … what’s 14 Aus dollars? About £7 sterling?
In the village where I live there’s a very trendy coffee shop where they sell banana on toast with maple syrup and a host of heathly sounding little seeds scattered ontop. Cost. £7 … and that might be for one peice of toast not 2 rounds.
Daft thing is … the place always seems busy.

The reality is, there are plenty of people with a lot of disposable income who think nothing of paying these over-the-top prices.

I know … you can’t believe them can you … I must be real miserly in my outlook.

Naw, not at all. There’s places we won’t go now because of the price. Neither do we eat out as much. I still meet my girlfriends for lunch but now it’s once a month not every 2nd week. It’s all down to the high cost of living and refusing to be ripped off.

I’m very cheap and yet trendy!
A winning combination…
What’s the village pub like?

I’m going to sound grumpy now …
They’ve changed. They’re not what they were. Empty of fags but full of kids … no one plays darts or dominoes but the spitoons have gone too.

Makes you wonder how $14 will effect a youngsters credit rating.
This is the world they live in.

Seriously…when I was a kid on summer holidays my parents would often take me to a pub.
There would be family rooms and beer gardens.
I fondly reminice about those heavy duty stylish coke bottles with the twisty pattern straws.
Some memories are harder to bear…
Awful stuff!
