Yes 91p, does that sound right to you or is it just plain old profiteering?

^^^ Popped to the continent on business this week and the magazine shop at Amsterdam airport wanted 15€ for an English MTB mag, that’s around £14 😳

Now that’s an English price. And profiteering… From my perspective it was pretty urgunt as the flight was delayed and I was bored sh**less.

Here in South Yorkshire a small Dairy Milk in our Co-op is 78 pence. Seventy. Eight. Pence. For 50 grams of chocolate. Mad.

Thats the everyone price – modern till system. Why just fleece tourists when there’s locals you can rip off all year round.

There’s only 2 grocery shops in Abersoch, bit of a captive market really.

If you ever come here bring some emergency coke (the drink) with you.

I paid 12€ for a copy of Vice magazine* in Amsterdam when I lived there and at the time it was free in the UK.

Who the hell shops at Spar nowadays?

Who the hell shops at Spar nowadays?

Not me!
The one over the road changed to a Premier and the name of our house (Spaview) doesn’t amuse passers by anymore 😥

2 euros in my local shop for coke 🙁

Lol, when I saw the first post I was going to ask if it was Ruabon or Abersoch. In Abersoch you get in your white Range Rover Sport and pop back to a Waitrose in Cheshire. Or make do with Magners over ice at a fiver a pop in St Tuds. We’re by the beach at Llangwnadl at half term.

import duty across the dyke ?

Does she do something special to it to justify a hike in the price 😯

its bad for your teeth

I wouldnt pay more than £5.94 for a british bike mag ;o)
