25% pay increase!

[Ck]

The vending machines at work have gone from 20p for a coffee to 25p overnight.

Not only does the stuff taste like shit anyway but that's a 25% increase. Our wage increase will be capped at summat like 2%. Where's the logic in that?

Things like that scare me. And why would you want to just stop in the middle of a street and send an e-mail? Can nothing wait these days?
