Rip-Off Uk

[vernonk]

Vets fees, private dentistry fees, solicitors fees, printer ink cartridges, benefits for illegal immigrants, council taxes (yet refuse collections are to be scrapped)....want to add to this list?

Family Attractions are one of the biggest rip offs ever along with their gift shops and tea rooms
Why do they think people with kids are all millionaires?
And the biggest rip off is Antimatter - 1 gram of which costs 100 quadrillion!

Are you sure about that, ummmm? My council always swore we would have weekly waste collections, but now have no choice but to move to fortnightly.

I'm not a happy toad.

Tali1, I agree it is very frustrating to have to enter and/or exit an attraction via the gift shop. It's like putting chocolate and sweets at the checkouts in supermarkets - I can do without that, too

hc4361 - Royal Armouries Leeds had a Knight suit for ....£6000!
Most Gift shop items are things that can be bought from Poundland for at the very least half the price.It would be 50yrs of inflation before pound shops charge that much!
(Although Poundland don't sell Knight suits ...)

I must have a knight suit!

Was it Warwick Castle?
