At last, we teabellies remembered to get a flask! We got a 1.2 Litre Thermos in the sale and it was about £34. It made seven large cups which we shared. With tea at £2 a cup from the stalls, we had the flask instead and saved ourselves up to £84 on three days’ tea…so it has already paid for itself. I will use it on long work journeys anyway, so it will be handy.
We did support the stalls on Friday and Saturday, having a meal each those nights. But I begrudge paying two quid for some water, UHT milk and a teabag.
… plus staff costs, power to heat the water, power for refrigerated storage, H&S costs, insurance, vehicle costs, various licences, rental to FC etc etc
Ignore me, I’m being facetious, but it really isn’t just the cost of the raw materials!
