This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

And the rest...
You can buy cheese slices for around £1.50 for 500 if you know where to go. And since it's been processed it'll last forever in the cupboard under the fridges.

The biggest profit margin from food vans is tea. Ordinary cups of tea:

Catering tea bags: 0.7p (sometimes used twice if people ask for a "weak" tea)
styrofoam cups: 3p
hot water: 0.00001p
sugar and milk: 1.2p
plastic lids and stirrers: 0.2p

Cost of a cup of hot fresh tea: 5.1p (rounded since I am lazy)

Sale price: £1 upwards.

Just bring a thermos flask instead. At least then you won't be stuck with tesco value tea bags and 6 month old milk.
