Re: Tax Cuts!

I did read about this somewhere, and it's because the VAT man has clamped down on Subway. Although the rise is because of the vat the reason it doesn't cost £1.99 plus vat is because they knew customers wouldn't stand the price hike of 35p for warming it up, but on the other hand if they served a £1.99 sub heated then they would lose 30p to the vatman so they ended up making a loss on them. They came up with the 20p so it became close to break-even as they could make it whilst not putting to many customers off.
