Guest Guest66881 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Britain's favourite dish, fish and chips, faces a sharp rise in price as the recent storms cause the wholesale price of fish to go up by more than 40 per cent. Fishing vessels across the UK's coasts have been unable to set sail because of the stormy weather, stopping supply and pushing up fish prices. Because of this, the price of a portion of fish and chips has gone up 10 per cent, around 35 pence per portion.

fourcorners Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 So, fish and chips have actually gone up 10%, not 40%. But that looks so good, don't get chips like that here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
