It is still "added value" and as such the price is bound to increase. It's like you don't get a donut with sprinkles for the same price as a plain donut. The sprinkles are "added value".  ::)
Yes, but 2p per loaf ? bollocks to that.  noooo:

And the difference is that if I choose to buy an ice cream and fancy sprinkles or a choc-flake thingy that is my choice and its fair that I should pay extra for it. I don?t see why the person in the queue behind me should pay more too?

It is basically a tax ? compulsory medication tax ? and I can?t believe that the tiny amounts they?ll be adding will cost 2p.

It's an attempt to Americanise the English Language ..... I blame Bill Gates and the Simpsons.
My kids call them "Sprinkles" and will not accept that the things in packs from Sainsburys are "Hundreds and Thousands" despite what it says on the packet.

I know.  redface: It's a childhood thing. For years my Brother and I didn't actually realise there was another name for them.
