    what about the prices of food and drink in hotel mini bars.....?

    Hubby was staying in a hotel in Oxford, they charged £1.95 for a Mars Bar

    How can these places justify charging over-inflated prices like that????
  • I am sure that I saw Hubba-Bubba for 23p in Asda the other day.

    We had a vending machine in the 6th Form and it was 35p a can but went on the blink for a bit and started throwing up random amounts of cans. It was like playing Uno Extreme with the vending machine. One lad got 9 cans for 35p! The most I managed was 3.

    I remember when Hubba-Bubba first Came out 'Big Bubbles, No Troubles' and it didn't get stuck in your hair. 10p back then, it was 12p for ages too.

    does anyone remember Moon Dust and Rolla Cola Balls (the silver ones that got band)
