There isn't a 'National Price' for bread, as far as I know. Bread is somewhat cheaper where I live, than it is in London, though the same Baker doesn't charge different people different prices in the same shop.But what would be wrong with that, anyway, if the rich man is prepared to pay?Volie2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10995681254999945571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-40055880014553429192012-03-25T15:37:17.962+01:002012-03-25T15:37:17.962+01:00PS - I think it's called regional pay bargaini...PS - I think it's called regional pay bargaining, and something the unions are dead against.Chairman Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908632282972692269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-28369064145321268162012-03-25T15:26:15.154+01:002012-03-25T15:26:15.154+01:00Alan: But that's not socialist.
