So, to correct my post in the interests of BD's balance; tea prices have risen by 25%, not the 40% originally stated. 25% pay rise anyone?
Yes, tea is just one item, of a low overall price, but canteen prices at my unit have increased across the board (sandwiches up by between 35% and 50%, hot food up by between 30% and 60%, soft drinks up by 30%) as you may have noticed yourself on one of your visits BD
I don't really care what sort of spin management/NTUS put on it, or on anything else for that matter. A price rise is a price rise, even if in the grand scheme of things it's mere bagatelle.
Really, the canteen price increases were a tongue in cheek opening gambit to my post - it was the indefensible and grossly wasteful happy clappy, lets all dance around the room at a nice hotel then tell everyone 8 facts about ourselves etc etc, course for senior managers I was really having a wee pop at.
