Had our full English this morning with toast and coffee in the fabulouse Radlett Cafe, two of us including bubble toast and coffee in what is a quality greasy spoon. Have just asked my lovely lady what she paid. £16.50 plus a tip. I think that is excellent value.
Oh yes getting paid or not. Destroys many a good businessOr having firms twice go into receivership owing you 6 figure sums
We eat in the camper meals we prepare ourselves at sensible cost instead of rip off cafe prices. That enables us to go to very good expensive restaurants locally where we quite enjoy that different rip off. We like to choose where and when we spend our hard earned instead of constantly having it prised from our grip....so eat in your MoHo
Rather defeats the claim that we bring spend/money at destinations, so they should welcome us all with open arms
Wish we were at Bonterra-love it there
Today while looking for some ad rates information with a magazine publisher I saw a job advertised with said mag pub, job based in London, with a starting salary of £23,000. There's no way that's enough to enable someone to live either in London, or to afford to commute in. And it's not unusual in publishing, where there still seems to be an absurd idea that people will 'work for the love of the industry'.
They accept DHSS
Restaurant and cafe mark-up should be five times the cost. They have high overheads and lots of waste so while it may sound like a lot they have to at worst break even and at best make a profit.
They are not ripping off anyone. You have a choice whether you use the place or not.
Jewish penicillin are you sure? I find that extremely offensive. Shame on you.And you can make a great Jewish Penicillin (chicken soup) with the carcass and a few veggies
Really?
So because it’s old it must be ok? I suggest you think before posting.
Lighten up pal.. Even Jewish folk see the funny side... but they're not part of the permanently offended.
£12 for 2 coffee 5 years ago!
WTF why ? That’s what all my family and friends have called it for years and some of them are Jewish. It’s well known in the Jewish community as a food to give to the sick for its easy eating and nutritious properties.
Sadly a lot of places do this. I'm constantly amazed at wee craft shops etc too trying to sell a tartan cushion for £30 somewhere in the Highlands that you can buy for £10 on ebay and have it delivered to your door included.
I should've done the same before ordering three 'end of trip' brandies with my son and DIL at a table on the quay at Honfleur.
I do , and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about it either. I don't support this view that because you were fortunate enough to be born in a place you own it. Or that it's visitors to that places job to boost there economy. I'm more of the earth is free and we are privileged to be a small part of life on it. It belongs to everyone and no one should have the right to stop any other person from visiting any part of it....so eat in your MoHo

Really? How on earth did you manage to buy a house where you are and replace mh etc?
You can only support them if you can afford it
and sadly these days there are more people who can't than there is those who can.
But you are respectful of the local residents - whether you agree with their 'ownership' or not. AFAIK, you never stay where you're going to cause conflict, and move on if asked.
No he is in fact correct.far more expensive & higher price rises in the Uk than here in spain where I live. France has always had eye watering prices to me.
I was told,when in business,that if you think like that you should not even consider being self employed or owning a Business. You should be an employee.
£3,30 for 4 sausage rolls . 5 jam doughnuts for 65p ; that's breakfast & tea sorted
