My tea was 10p more expensive this morning. That's a rise of 7.7%, way above inflation (last year it rose by 8.3%), and crazy. I am seriously considering making my own tea in the morning. Over the course of the year that's an additional £27 which I think is totally unreasonable. All they do is put hot water, milk and a teabag in a cup and hand it to me. £1.40 seems like a bit too much.
But this is nothing when compared to the great tea price increase of 1999 when I was working for Aquascutum. A cup of tea went up from 10p to 15p overnight (50%). This nearly resulted in riots. Or more accurately it resulted in one bloke bringing in his own teabags and milk each day.
My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)
