Milky Pay

An article in yesterday's copy of The Sun caught my eye, although l don't as a rule feature newspaper stories in my blog.

The headline read '42p pinta is record.'

Are they kidding ?

At my local corner shop a 500ml (less than a pint) carton of milk has been selling for 42p for months, and recently had a price increase slapped on it. Current cost ?

A whopping 47p  !!!

At this rate it'll be cheaper to slosh champagne over your cornflakes in the morning.
