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

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45833597The 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!
