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!

You are also paying for Labour and the rent charged by Fairport . Don't forget that the stallholders have to stay away from home and make their profit from a smaller crowd. Be careful they might not come next time.
