Local newsagents admit they are taking the piss

A local newsagent has admitted they are absolutely taking the piss with prices and there is nothing you can do about it.

Gwenda Hughes has run a Londis for several years and has told us of the terrific money it makes. She said, ‘I literally make the prices up. On sunny days I’ll put another quid on the orange Oasis.’

‘ And when people went weird about bananas with Brexit, I put a Brexit tax of 50p on them. You can get bog roll for two-quid in most supermarkets, not here. I double the bunz on that shit. That goes for the fabric conditioner, dog food, and fruit. The lot.’

‘It’s laughable really because I know you can’t be arsed going anywhere else for it. The customer knows it’s expensive, they know they can get it cheaper elsewhere, yet they continue to spend here. Extraordinary really. I’m quids in!’

‘I actually bought my house with the profits on Hubba Bubbas.’
