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!
I used to like that 
The other week I tried that Dr Pepper stuff and that is vile.
Perhaps I’ve got weird taste buds.
These days in our village you have to be seen sitting outside a cafe drinking things like bubble tea. 
Daisy chains and laughs 
You absolutely haven’t!
Yet more awful stuff… it’s still widely available 
This stuff is worthy of the occasional sip…
They used to sell a different brand in little bottles in the chip shops, we used to bunk off school dinners 
Caffè Nero & The Liquorist at Gunwharf Quays a coffee is £4.10 , today I had coffee and toast just one slice
Total £5.50, it’s becoming ridiculous .
We’ll be in there ourselves tomorrow. I was given a coffee club discount card which shaves off 25% of all coffee’s (but not anything else). Not much I know, but every little bit helps. Besides, I do like their pastries.
I love dandelion and burdock. I buy a small bottle in B&M for 59p. Lovely.
I think Spoons are good vfm breakfast wise. I sometimes have tea and toast, which is quite cheap.
Yes, I used to get it from B&M from time to time Jazzi.
Must have another look when I’m in town.
I tried a Dr Pepper for the first time, a while ago. I took one sip, OMG, it was terrible! Threw the whole can down the sink. 
There used to be a Sarsaparilla Bar in our town.It was the place for pre-pub age teens to hang out.I didn’t like the taste much but they did sell American Cream Soda which was more my taste.
I like Sarsaparilla though I very rarely drink it these days.
