Today I was in London going to tedious meetings with a colleague. We were in South Kensington around lunchtime, so he suggested we go to the cafe in the Natural History Museum for a bite to eat. Genius, I thought, how delightful. Little did I know how EXPENSIVE it is there!!! £2.50 for a few leaves of lettuce with fancy dressing. Seriously, a few leaves of lettuce, no tomatoes, no rocket, no nothing except a few leaves of lettuce. £2.50. And as I was too hungry for lettuce on its own, I also ordered a very small scoop of potato salad which cost £4.50.But, despite being on a tight budget at the moment, I didn't really mind the outrageous prices because (a) it was unspeakably delicious, (b) I was really happy to be in South Kensington, (c) entry is free to the museum so I guess they have to make their money somewhere, and (d) They give free tap water on the tables so at least you don't have to buy drinks.

It happens! But we can find compensation here and there!
Wow that's expensive! Tagged you over at mine!
Ouch that's expensive. But at least they're keeping the museums free. Long may that last!
I think M & S is expensive for what you get! At least you are in an amazing place and it's free entertainment - and free tap water!!
