Not quite Nick Leeson, but somebody is going to jail. |

The price of a pot of tea is really steep - £2.90. Compare that to other places which charge a good £1 or so less. It’s not like you’re paying for fancy surroundings either - the two I know - Chelmsford and Colchester - all seem a little careworn and tired. Still, we do like to indulge in takeaway cake from time to time. |

We have one in town. Never been in there bause although it looks very nice, it's also very expensive. We tend to end up in Bakers + Baristas instead. |

I got charged that for a polystyrene cup of tea at the NEC recently. I love Patisserie Valerie cakes, my favourite being the blackforest gateaux one. We tend to buy PV birthday cakes for birthdays too. |

Yeah - the black forest gateau is nice. I like their cheesecakes, but I find the volume to cheese too great, so I tend to have to eat one slice in two sittings. |

It does make you wonder what the auditors do for their money if they cant find £9+M of overdraft facilities |

I got charged £10 for a cup of tea at a Holiday Inn in the early 90s! I was early and waiting for a course to begin, so I ordered a cup of tea... I didn't think anything about it, until I went to pay and they said that I couldn't just have a cup of tea in the waiting area, the tea was part of the breakfast buffet, just they had forgotten to tell me that, until I was leaving! |
