£9.40 from the ticket machine on the platform.

Costs £4.70 on the train, as the guard explained kids go free at the weekend but the ticket machine can't recognise weekends

Actually it's "Kids Go Free" any day of the week so long as you're travelling during the off-peak periods.

As above, I know airports are generally expensive but I think that is the most expensive as far as I can remember.

Will make sure to buy outside next time

we bought a dyson from a store and they explained that it had to be dyson parts fitted by dyson engineers if it went wrong and extended 5 year warranty would cost us 120 quid which we paid with them. when we got home we found a form from dyson inside the box for an extended 5 year warranty cost 75 quid. so when we get asked now we tell the sales person to fxxk off politely of course .

Couple of weeks ago i paid £130 for jeans and went into another shop and they were there for only £80...Considering i got them in the sale at that price there was no chance of a cash refund but only vouchers.

"glasgow airport.

have heard that the other retailers in the airport have complained to BAA that Greggs was seriously damaging their trade. As a result the Greggs is closing! Pretty shoddy in a so called free Market. Serves the other retailers right for marking up goods when they know they have a captive consumer.

There is an answer.

Dont go near them,if a fair percentage of ppl bought before they hit the airports the prices would soon come down.

We were charged £12.60 last yr for 2 rolls and sausage and 2 tea's if I had went to counter instead off missus I would have said dont bother

We were out and about on Sunday, walked thru the large car boot sale along the Clydeside. I gave young daughter £2 to go on the large inflatable slide, thinking that will keep her occupied for 10 mins

She was back within 1 minute... The guy charged her the £2 for two goes down the frigging thing!
