It was only €3.49 in Germany in August.


Costs more in the motorway services

Recent research is suggesting that endurance athletes increase their

Norway's Big Mac is about 4.5 times more expensive than India's
Maharaja Mac (made with beef flavoured chicken I think).

Anyway, my point is that a Big Mac is £2.69 in the UK (July 2012), not
£3.99.

What's the UK price of a complete Big Mac meal, and is it or is it not
more than broadly similar to the price of a £3.99 carvery meal?

I don't know. However, that was not the comparison you made: you
compared a £3.99 carvery meal with a Big Mac.

A £3.99 carvery meal does sound like a substantially better value meal
than a £2.69 Big Mac.

And even a £5.99 carvery meal plus soft drink would compare very
favourably to a £3.99 Big Mac meal (if that is the price). But that is
not what you were comparing.

I maintain an Excel spreadsheet, so I can tell you exactly.

It was 1,325,603 by close of play last night.

I'll run it again tonight and give you an update.



Have I ever said - you really are excellent value?

Why all these lies, Judith?
What is wrong with an honest answer?

How many names have you used to post here?

But have you ever posted under the name PhilO?

Or is that a "faulty question"?

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
