    If he was one of us from Mse he wouldn't be sending out and paying a tenner. He would have gone downstairs and got something to eat out of the freezer.

    Lol!:rotfl:
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Everytime I take my family to Frankie & Benny's my burger costs more than £10. If he'd have been snaffling a £100 burger it might have been vaguely newsworthy. As it stands it's not worthy of a paragraph somewhere towards the back.

    I should phone up Sky and complain as I hadn't even heard about this before reading this thread!

    But basically, the story is as a publicity stunt he tweeted a picture of himself eating a burger to try and appear in touch with the "common folk" for whatever silly reason and The Sun decided to find out how much the burger cost?

    Seems a bit of a non-story. Osborne needs to accept he'll never be popular. People need to accept Osborne can afford to spend £6.75 on a burger without batting an eyelid.

    So why are we still talking about it then? :D
