Bacon Roll and a coffee £?
How much might you pay for bacon roll and a coffee or similar breakfast/lunch?
It popped into my head because I'm going to the airport tomorrow where it cost me £4.70. It's only a small airport in a small place, therefore I felt the price was pretty steep. I know in some places that's cheap/ish. When I bought that and got to Inverness, I had lasagne, chips, peas and I think a diet irn-bru in Tesco for about £5.10 and it looked so good a tourist saw what I had and went for the same. It was really good too. Even though I am 34, I guess it only feels like yesterday that I could have got two bacon rolls and a pot of tea or coffee for two for not much more or less than £4.70 Okay, I sound old now. ![]()

Lol, I just found this. I guess I was very lucky to have it before I landed in Inverness: Quote:
The most expensive bacon roll?
Published: 06 March, 2009 Sir, Before a recent flight from Inverness airport we headed to the airport cafe to have a quick bite to eat. advertising On ordering three coffees and three bacon rolls we were charged over £20. Thinking there must have been a mistake we asked for a receipt and sure enough, there in black and white was the price, £4.49 for a bacon roll! At that price you would at least expect a decent roll and hot bacon! Surely this must be Scotland's most expensive bacon buttie?http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/n...con_roll_.html |

Airports etc always bump up prices as they know people will pay it, no point comparing it to Tescos.

I would theorise that a higher proportion of smaller airports custom is from business travellers, who are claiming expenses and therefore they are able to get away with less complaints/loss of custom.

£1.50 in wetherspoons - but my wife told me to NEVER take her there again. She can't take drink at 8.30 in the morning you see.
pick something up on the motorway - services there know how to charge as well |

I knew a guy who had a wallet made from circumcised foreskins. When he rubbed it, it became a suitcase
