The bakeries and fast food do not pay VAT. They deduct whatever they pay to Customs back from their vat return.

They only collect for the govt.

I on the other hand, am out of pocket. It is we sheep who pay vat

Correct. Not to mention the exorbitant customs duties of many products of 45-65%.
Even if I try to beat inflation by cooking my own food, pots and pans attract 45©. Sad.

> “But I mean, it's not just sugary drinks. It should be on all sugar, and everything breaks down to sugar. Rice breaks down to sugar, and potatoes and bread and pasta and stuff like that. So it's these things that contribute to diabetes and hypertension, and probably increase the risk of cancers.

Since the pandemic, I take no advice from doctors, the perfect tyrants.

But, since we are at it, protein also turns into sugar. Get boneless skinless chicken breasts and it will turn into sugar.

Finally, who cares what happens in England, they have generated so much their health system is in shambles and they can no longer celebrate Christmas publicly in peace.

I don't know about you all. But I would not wish this rabid union leader to know who was paid and how much. So her minions can go victimised certain teachers in school.
You not entitled to it, woman.

She said on the radio she would not reveal how many people voted in this poll as she would not tell her "enemy" that. Same enemy who is to give her a list of who got paid or what.

I feel sorry for the teachers because they were not given proper increases and choose to send this woman to represent them.

Such a franchise is very risky.
It is very expensive to setup a restaurant and the franchisee cannot control the price of the product.

If it was me, I would find out what the average selling price of thr product would be and compare to the price of food trucks in the area.

A customer may buy from you "on pay day" and from the food trucks the other day

I browse Kelly online all the time then visit the store because my payment required a passcode and they never send the passcode within 20 minutes.

I have visited CBS online, but have not tried to order because they do not list the delivery charge.

That's compelling.
