Rip-off Britain lives

Waking up too late in The Times.


Starbucks coffee: £2 in the UK. $2 including tax in Canada for a medium (18 oz). Half the price. Considered a treat here in Hogtown, coffee can be obtained for far less elsewhere in Toronto. Tip: If you are on a budget at Starbucks ask for a short.
Update: we checked out the coffee prices at Tim Hortons: small (10 oz) $1.07; med (12 oz) $1.17 ; large $1.35; xlarge $1.44. These prices plus 14% tax; prices may vary locally.
