I bought a packet of crisps. They cost 80p. Eighty pence!! How can that be????I remember when crisps were 5p a packet and a Curly Wurly was 7p. Aniseed balls were a halfpenny each and you could buy a can of something fizzy for 10p. OK, I know these sums were a lot of money way back then, but still. Honestly. 80p?!
Scandalous, Mell D, & you only get about four crisps in the bloody packet.

Exactly, NMJ. Exactly, my dear.
ReplyDeleteAnd have you noticed that the packets have shrunk? Hmm.

Was this in an airport or a hotel? Here in Glasgow crisps range from about 35 to 50p at the most. Mmmm, love crips.
ReplyDeleteHey Chris – this was in a local sandwich shop in the City. Cannot believe the price.
ReplyDeleteMe, too... Love crisps!
