I think that its outrageous to put 20% vat on a food which is aimed mainly at people on lower incomes. Places like Greggs are very cheap and only have a small margin on their food, they can't afford to ramp them up by 20%.
There is a clear distinction between take-away meals and hot baked goods. Take-Aways represent a meal that people have occasionally, whereas baked goods often are a daily snack for many people, and is their only opportunity to get hot food during the day.
This could lead to another high-street outlet going out of business along with Woolworths,Game,Habitat,C&A,Hawkins, and many others. Why not put 20% on caviar, faux grois, or 4 X 4 cars and hit the people that can afford it.

I'm all for the Vat increase. Its a tax on fatties so why not? I love a pie, pasty etc but if you choose to eat crap everyday your a burden to the NHS.
What a boring life you must lead Angel, I don't suppose you smoke or drink either?
I love my food, (Greggs sausage rolls included), I smoke (Cigars) and love a few drinks of a weekend too.
As for being a burden on the NHS I could'nt give a toss, I've worked and paid taxes all my life so if the need should arise that I ever needed treatment on the NHS then so be it, I deserve it.
And yes, I am a fat bastard but I'm loving every minute of it.

I'm only 11.5 stone, I've run the London Marathon, but I still like the occasional sausage roll or pasty. Also I've never been in hospital in my 40+ years. The real burden on the health service is people who live well into their 90's spending 20+ years in a nursing home, rather than those who keel over in their 60's from a heart attack. That said, I don't begrudge them their time in the nursing home, it is part of a civilised society to look after all citizens.

And even if i didnt it wouldnt mean I had a boring life. Sorry but sausage rolls dont excite me. If you decide to eat to excess, bash on. An early grave awaits. How interesting is that?!

I do not find this board a guilty pleasure.
I participate because I see an injustice has been done and I see it as a way of offering support.
I may have strong views but they are my views and I will always defend them.
I do not think this board is moderated correctly.

Quite enough on this I think. And some odd URL's.
