The "Credit Crunch" and you? - Page 2

The vending machine at work has had random price increases imposed upon it. Hula-Hoops are up 5p to 40p, McCoys are now 55p when once they were 50p. But the biggest shock is the Turkish Delight. Up 10p to 60p. Gone are the days of two for a quid.

It's true, despite my facetiousness.

Actually Petrol has gone up noticably thinking about it. I managed to get £45 in the other day, it only took £35 a year or 2 ago.

Our vending machines went up as well

Hoola Hoops are 40p as well, yet it says 35p on the machine :mad:

Most of our vending machine stuff is 50p anyway. I think there was once some 40p stuff, but no longer.

Its gone up TO the best part of £1600, so yes, up £500. All well and good when you're happily shacked up with Mr Moneybags, as I used to be. Not so now he's shacked up in Kiwi OompaLoompas loveshack and my mortgage is £100 more than my take home wage!!

Bitter? Moi??

Hehe, Im not really, not any more. And there's bugger all point in giving myself an early heart attack about it, it'll sort itself out one way or another

Gutted you lose a bit of money to the vending machines. I lost my job because of it

Mark · 30-08-2008, 00:33

Over-reaction, much? I think we all realise there are far more important things to life than 10p in the vending machine. I can understand your frustration though.

Sorry you've lost your job.

How am I over reacting Mark? Im trying to make light of the situation.
