    Now its serious!

    Greggs put up the price of a sausage roll!

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/17274...-sausage-roll/

    GREGGS fans have been left disappointed after the bakery chain raised the price of a sausage roll by 5p.

    The pastry price hike is part of a plan by Greggs to raise charges by 5 to 10% across the entire menu.

    Sausage rolls are the most popular item hit by the hike

    Sausage rolls and their vegan counterparts have gone up in price from £1 to £1.05.

    Greggs said the move was a "last resort", but regulars at the UK's biggest bakery chain are still unimpressed.

    Tom Yorks tweeted: "The biggest crime I've seen this year is Greggs increasing the price of a sausage roll from £1 to £1.05."

    And @stump_yo added: "Oh so the price of a Greggs vegan sausage roll has gone up but my wages haven't?

    "F*** this."

    Now everyone is saying we must stop using Russian Gas, its important we have security of supply and that nasty Mr Putin seems a little unstable. Welcome to the party.

    Even without the Russian gas issue there are the issues that:
    1. NMW increases
    2. NI hikes
    3. Energy bill hikes for business

        Oh God, not more heaps of stupid little coins as change. Couldn't they just have doubled the price to £2.

        Even that is bad enough with all those pound coins weighing our pockets down. £5 would have been better.

          And Ukraine produces a lot of wheat, you need that for the pastry.
