A woman was shocked after she bought fish and chips in a famous British city, and when she revealed the price, many Brits were equally surprised.
One woman who paid £28.10 for fish and chips from a takeaway in Cambridge showed the receipt to the social media community. She ordered one portion of fish and chips, a side of mushy peas, and a can of drink.
Her receipt went viral on social media, and many people could hardly believe it was so expensive. “£28 for fish and chips?! That’s insane!” someone wrote. “I remember when this was a cheap takeaway meal,” another one said.
The fact that Cambridge is an expensive city contributed to the general understanding of why the price was so high, but it still left many people doubting if fish and chips, traditionally seen as an affordable British staple, into a luxury.
Some insisted that if the fish was blamed for the sustainable source or the shop was a luxury place, the price would be fair, and others claimed that a fish and chips meal could never be that expensive.
This discussion is a manifestation of the cost of living in the UUKK, with people being acutely aware of the price increase in their everyday meals.
