Food  prices which everyone has been noticing rose, appear to have stabilized, in

addition, we have also to contend with the VAT being raised to 20%.

this was 0.3%. Stores like Marks and Spencers that have been consistently running lunchtime

combination specials in the city, seem to have pulled these special offerings for now.
