Don't you realised that the majority of people who live and work in London are the cream of the crop in their industries and therefore earn bigger wages than the rest of the country and can afford to pay a pound for a lolly. Heck we can afford to pay a fiver for a lolly without batting an eyelid!”
Sorry but that's a load of rubbish. The majority of people who live and work in London are earning an average wage, the high wages go to the few, and we are talking about a very few here. The people who pay the high prices are tourists who are either ill prepared or are in a captive market, each time it's tourists not locals who tend to get the poorer deal.
