00:00It's so expensive wherever you go.
00:02Yes, very much so. It is a lot.
00:04Yes.
00:04I agree.
00:05Yeah, I think it's quite expensive, especially when you come into the city and you want to have a normal meal.
00:09So, a meal for two people could be, what, £40, £50 per person,
00:12which sometimes is just too much when you just want to have something to eat.
00:15Honestly, you'd spend maybe more than £12 just for a lunch.
00:20And say you did that every single day, that's...
00:23Basically, your whole paycheck is gone within half the month.
00:26I'm actually walking further up to try and find somewhere a little bit cheaper.
00:29It's just getting too expensive, so I don't know why.
00:32Cost of living, inflation, too much money printing, it's all adding to it, really.
00:37If you want to actually have a proper meal, it's quite hard to find something that's affordable.
00:42If you want something quick and easy, then you're not really getting a good meal.
00:46It's difficult, more difficult than it was, at least,
00:48before you could find a cafe and get a few things for maybe £5, £6.
00:51You're now looking at spending maybe £15 per person.
00:54On just a drink and a pastry.
00:56On a drink and a pastry.
00:57Winter Zone 1, I think, because there are a lot of brands out there,
01:01you may find that their food is quite similar to each other,
01:03but the price of it is near enough to skyrocket it.
01:07What you get for your food doesn't really add up sometimes.
01:10Over the years, I feel like McDonald's has become more and more expensive.
01:13It's not insane prices, but before you could spend £4,
01:18and you're getting a burger, chips, a drink.
01:20Now you're spending £7 to £10 per person.
01:24The whole concept of fast food places as well,
01:26it was meant to be something that was cheap and quick,
01:29but it's not that anymore.
01:30I mean, it's not quick anymore for sure either.
