To command that price it does have to have provenance by the way

And good luck keeping 'a few' bulls that are still in possession of their plums in your back garden without them going wild and destroying all before them

Appologies for the delay in replying....

very long day yesterday, and i went to bed shortly after posting...

and we have winners....


DPB & Saxo Boy...

Yes it was bottled water!!!!!

£1.95 for 500ml took 5 kids to the local multiplex yesterday, and was relieved of £10 for 5 bottles of water ffs!!!

It would have been cheaper to give them a soft drink...

how they can justify that pricing strategy is beyoned me...

They can justify it because you bought it for the price they asked.

I asked a bloke on a local fancy Christmas market in town what he charged for a gallon of extra virgin olive oil the day before yesterday and he asked £42!!!

Must have a good view in front of his stall.

Yes, and no,

They justify it because there is only one alternative, not to purchase, and

given that most kids want a drink at some stage, they have you over a

barrell. They also dont alow you to bring your own sweets & drinks in

either.

Either way, it pushes the bounds of acceptability when it comes to profit margins & markup

Probably because if you were giving an angry bull a reacharound then youd want £32,000 a litre. Thats a lot of elbow time ffs!

That's elephants

If you're surprised at the price of water then you have obviously never been to an airport. In a Portugese supermarket, 3 x 5l drinking water for a €1. At Faro Airport €2 for 500ml Now that's a markup!
