    Yes I've noticed foie gras and white truffles have gone up in price recently.

    I think it's time I switched from Fortnum and Masons to Harrods for my weekly shop.

    Money doesn't grow on trees you know!

      All we need to do is print more money and then we will be able to pay the high food prices, like with houses.

            It's shocking, Jar of Marmite now costs more than a gallon of petrol luckily my car burns dead dinosaurs and not yeast.

              Except that Harrods is so vulgar and common it makes Aldi look posh

                500g is a lot of marmite though, it's like comparing 24x sausage rolls with a packet of fags.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  I paid 16 Euro for an omelette and a coffee the other morning.
