The point being the mark-up on coffee is comparatively huge though. Mark up is huge on loads of things. A sleeve of popcorn costs a cinema about 7p and they can fill quite a few tubs that they then sell for £3/4/5 a pop. So what's your argument then? Are the cinemas making loads of money or is it all to cover the huge wages they pay their staff? I'd say it costs more to run a cinema than a coffee shop in terms of overheads. Hence once again my original point is proved.

Sound of frenzied back pedalling with parky and manc-man just pointing and laughing tbh.

Probably the same lad Alex. His brother had to get it taken out of the Benfield road shop as it was just to expensive for the clientèle around there. I'm sure it's about 8p a cup buy in Aye, John - that's him. And that's the place on Benfield Rd. Actually, wor sis told me his brother runs the shop now but John was telling me how little it cost him per cup. 8p might have been it. That's how much Costa charged him btw, before anyone starts Gemmill and Renton silenced there.

They cayn't hayndle the truth. tbh

Tangible seething at how little your coffee costs to make tbh.

He goes into work about midday and leaves at 4pm. I wasn't taking the piss. And the business model just got even more attractive.

Definitely changing careers tbf. Can't wait for the day.

I thought your ex was a barrister, not a barrista? boom boom!

5p to make a capuccino they say. inc wages, rent and bills etc.. That can't be right. Per coffee yes it's right. I paid €2.80 here for some kind of cooler drink which in effect was just crushed ice water and flavouring. Costa. Cost 2p to make. Even if not spot on, it's probably not a million miles off the truth. How much is a starbuck franchise then? I want to open one on Renton's route to work and fleece the flabby fucker dry.

Drive thru off licenses next no doubt. Drive thru Boulangeries. I shit you not. Nowt wrong with a bit of convenience though. The drive thru ATM is class. Arse to Mouth?

The mark up on coffee at any of those outlets tbh. Anyone who is prepared to pay that much for it is plain retarded tbf. Apparently it's the biggest mark up on any mass product at the moment. That or nuts. Could be nuts actually. Again ridiculously expensive considering they just come out of the ground. Righto, I'll take a thermos out and sit on a park bench then? The mark up is irrelevant. Sorry what I meant to say is that coffee tastes like shit to start with so why anyone would pay anything for it is beyond me-but I find the Starbucks phenomenon particularly baffling. Having said that I think a Thermos would suit you. Does anyone remember Thermos O' Flask out of Viz btw?

How much is a subways franchise fwiw?

My mate had a Subways franchise and managed to end up declaring himself bankrupt with it. Genius. How the fuck is that possible like, were you eating there for free? Seriously though.....how is that possible? Those places charge a fortune for next to shit.

At the risk of sounding unpopular here, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Newcastle is really bad for tarts haircuts on a lad.

Dunno about check out totty, but the Sainsbury's in Fallowfield in Mcr must have the biggest totty quota in the UK. Student-tastic.

That does actually looks scarily like what i've got now I haven't got the fish lips though Toonraider, I'd get mine like Josh Homme but I don't think I could pull it off quite as well as him. Still, if it helps me pull Brody Dalle then i'm all for it. I'm not being funny here, but how dare anyone have a haircut like that! How dare they!

The way I read it you posted a sandwich in the first thread that everyone had to try and beat: if you were to win the competition you would need to beat that first sandwich. As it stands, you have entered no candidates so cannot possibly win. Either there is no winner because no one has beaten it or PP has won it by general consensus. According to the terms, Gemmill wins in the event that everybody fails to beat his challenge. He doesnt win though either way because his sandwich is still shit and has been soundly beaten.

Had surf and turf at Rockafella last weekend. Was class. £32 like!? Pisstake. Gratuitous meatfest. Whats wrong with one or t'other you ginger beast?

It's not tbh. It's gluttony.

Anchovies, but thats different. If anything the chicken was accompanying the fish, because the anchovies are integral to a ceasar salad. I realise that subtle distinction makes no difference to the actual taste matrix.

Ha ha. What utter shit. Mine's quite dark. Quality comeback.

It's a fucking disgrace.
