seems to be causing a bit of a storm.. anyway thought I'd add the prices we have to pay at college... (By the way I think the exchange rate is roughly £1 = $2)

"Coffee" (Really a lukewarm concoction that tastes vaguely like marmite) - 50p - to be fair this is the cheapest cup of coffee I've ever had outside Blackpool at midnight in the rain, but even that one was better.
I once got quoted £3.50 for a tiny serving of chips, sausage and gravy that wouldn't have filled up a child.
The we either have rank sandwiches which cost about £1.50 each and taste like poo or posh Ginsters's's's's sandwiches which we're charged about £3 for.
Chips on their own are in stupidly small portions and are more grease than fake potato anyway, and a portion os £1, even though you can go to the chip shop five minutes away and get a bigger portion for 70p, and on their student menu you can get a sausage too for £1.10 altogether.
