This story is amusing. Its nice to see that everyone takes the piss out of the tax payer. In the UK, the NHS getc charged £8 for a lightbulb, and in the US, they paid ...
Well. Ill let you lot enjoy this.

On a side note, how fething nice do those posh muffins sound that the BBC lassie makes?
So whats the most you ever paid for a muffin?
I think mine was... about $6 on the Pier at Santa Monica, there was a gumbo festival on and it was by some fancy organic desert place.
fething steady muffin though I must admit.

I doubt I've ever topped £3. If it was a high quality, artisanal muffin, fnarf fnarf, then naturally one must pay for quality.
The best muffin I've ever had was a caramel filled muffin from Tim Hortons with chocolate chips. Although that was less of a muffin, and more of an affront to god.

Nothing.
I don't like muffins that much. Then again, I'm not a huge sugar-eater... I prefer a freshly-cooked non-sweet bread.

On a side note, when tired out sufficiently that my guard was lowered and my mathematical capabilities suspect at best, I once ended up paying £4.50 for a packet of crisps in Reykjavik airport. Or possible Helsinki airport. I forget which.
But I do not forget the price of the crisps.

Honestly, I paid $10 for a large muffin and a small OJ at a comic convention in Philly. Can't remember price of each though. Muffin had to be like $7ish.

I've actually never paid more that $2-3 for one. my wife makes muffins that are to die for.
When your partner can cook like a maniac, you tend not to buy as many items she can cook/bake better.

Muffins in the UK tend to be larger than in the US from my cookbook reading, other than that they are pretty much the same mel.

English muffins are totally different Melissa
they are more like teacakes and eaten with savouries, often at breakfast
We get the American Muffins too but they are not as large as the one you posted.
No wonder obesity is an issue if muffins are that big.
