Once again the PC Brigade has abjectly failed to ban Christmas so we are treated to the first sighting of a festive tradition - the rip off Winter Wonderland story.
A poor start to the season. I look forward to the first sighting of one in a pub car park, replete with Santa smoking a roll up and a dog with deely boppers replacing the reindeer.
Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is slammed for its 'rip-off' prices - including £8 for candyfloss and £7 for a potato on a STICK
What do you expect for seven quid? The moon on a stick... sorry STICK?

You’re clearly paying a premium for the stick, there.

At a LARP event earlier this year they were charging 7 pounds for a bacon roll. Not that surprising.

I imagine Hyde Park Winterval Festival pitch prices are amongst the highest in the land, you don't need to be an especially savvy shopper to predict that it's not going to be a bargain hunter's paradise.

Have you seen the effects of Putin's war on the price of sticks.

Now I've seen a picture, I'm inclined to think that's seven quid well spent.

I must admit it does look nice, but not £7 nice.
I'd rather have a bag of chips (£2 at my local kebab shop).

I think that these things cost about 3€ a pop, even in Bavaria, the land of unbridled wealth.
Yes, they are more than acceptable when rolled in heart-stopping amounts of salt but it is not physically possible to munch one down while nursing a beer.
That a "no" from me. Having developed a weird aversion to pork (I stink of it for hours afterwards), a game or lamb-based sausage will hit the spot.
