How much?

Eamonn Farrell writes:

Up to a couple of weeks ago, a pot of tea capable of filling two mugs, in what used to be Toughers well known filling station, cum truck stop diner, outside Newbridge in County Kildare, cost €1.25.
Since the station was taken over by Top Oil, the coffee franchise Insomnia now runs the cafe and a single mug of tea costs €2.20. Two mugs of tea now cost you €4.40 as opposed to €1.25.  Is this the start of a new merry-go-round of rising prices, set to wreck any positive outcome from the sacrifices which the Irish public have endured for the last five years?

Of course it is.

Anyone?
