SIR – Matthew Crowther admits there is a healthy profit to be made on a cup of tea, but claims he has to charge his customers £1.10 to cover his overheads like rent, rates, electric, water, staff costs, etc, before he can take a wage (T&A, May 13).
Come off it. A cafe near the Oastler Centre (no names, no pack-drill) only charges 70p for a cup of tea. Would not the proprietor of that establishment be faced with the same expenses?
