Measuring the economy in Toasties 09:47 - Sep 5 with 2723 viewswkj

In the age of smashed burgers and hot honey brioche it is hard to keep up, and there I was thinking the rebranding of Toasties to Paninis was bad enough! Either way, times are always changing.

Me and my beloved legal partner were travelling the other day (within England, we're not bougie) and ended up pulling off for a mouthful of grub. Not really looking at the price, as we had no choice, I ordered a cheese and onion toastie while they got the BLT (maybe they are bougie, imagine adding salad to a perfectly good bacon sarnie.) Vanilla as I am, I ordered a tea and they got a coffee (despite an awkwardly long description of "coffee")

Needless to say, a pretty conservative meal which I was mentally thinking about £15 (£20 when you factor in motorway tax). The whole meal came to £35! Two toasties and 2 hot drinks for £35. Thatcher's Britain I tell thee! I should have had a biscuit instead.

I remember as a teenager a mobile chippie came to the village I lived in. It was a AEC bus converted so you stepped onto the back of it where there was a counter and the frying range ran along the inside of the bus on the right hand side.
You could get a bag of chips and scraps for 6d or 2.5p.
How the heck we have got to where we are can only be down to successive governments allowing all and sundry to plunder our fishing grounds.
Also for what you pay now for a bag of chips you could buy a sack of potatoes only a handful of years ago.
