00:00Yeah, my son looks at me as I'm every day.

00:08And so, I mean, how does it make you feel, like that used to be a pound, didn't it?

00:11No, they used to be 55p.

00:12Yeah.

00:13I think they have gone up a bit yet.

00:14It doesn't owe me a little bit.

00:15But like...

00:16It's still worth it a bit.

00:17It's still worth, yeah.

00:18If it went up a bit more.

00:19Come in the video, babe.

00:20Come on, come on.

00:21So Courtney, is this your mum?

00:22Yeah.

00:23What's your name, lovely?

00:24Rachel.

00:25So Rachel, how does it, you know, it was only a few months ago when they increased the prices

00:29again, isn't it?

00:30Yeah.

00:31And it's meant to be a cheap place that you can eat.

00:32Yeah.

00:33It was only £1.10 more then.

00:34They've gone up to...

00:35I don't know.

00:36I don't really mind paying it, but it would be...

00:37If it went up any more, I think I'd stop doing it.

00:38I think if it went to, like, £1.50 an hour, then we'd stop.

00:39Yeah.

00:40Because that's just me.

00:41Yeah.

00:42Because I used to pay 75p when I was a kid, remember?

00:43Yeah.

00:44Yeah.

00:45It was just somewhere cheap and nice.

00:46But like, just taking the mickey a bit now, just going up and up and up.

00:47Yeah.

00:48And by the time you go in, it's like gone up a ledge by two.

00:49And because it's the sausage rolls as well.

00:51Yeah.

00:52And in the past, it used to be, like, £1.50.

00:53Yeah.

00:54But then we're, like, £2.00.

00:55Yeah.

00:56Exactly.

00:57Oh, £2.74 a year, yeah.

00:58Yeah, I noticed it.

00:59Yeah, it has gone up recently again.

01:00It's gone up again.

01:01And it's only...

01:02People are still doing in and having them because they're nice.

01:03You get two sausage rolls a year.

01:04So, the price is now £1.30.

01:05It hasn't put you off buying them, has it?

01:06No.

01:07It hasn't, but with the price increase on them.

01:08Yeah.

01:09They're a lot pricier.

01:24Yeah.

01:25Yeah.

01:26Some people I've spoken to today have said it used to even be 75p.

01:27I mean, how does it make you feel that they're increasing the prices again and again?

01:31They're just trying to rob us.

01:33And that's all I'm going to say.
