Also, virtually everything is more expensive in London compared to elsewhere in the country, and central London is probably more expensive again compared to less central areas where most people actually live and shop.

We used to have Marks and Spencer in Canada. We miss the stores.

When I grew up in the 1970s, everyone called it "Marks & Sparks". That said, I haven't been back to the UK since 1991, so I don't know if "Marks & Sparks" is still used, or just another forgotten remnant of my youth 😇

Nice :) M&S has a reputation for pricy but very good quality food. Seeing those price conversions was interesting - the only time I’ve been on holiday in Canada was 30 years ago and back then £1 bought exactly $2, which made conversions easy! I remember being on a coach tour of Montreal and my amusement at the horror of the Americans on the bus when the guide converted the petrol price of 60c/litre into US $/gallon - it was exactly half the price it was here at the time (60p/ltr). I changed a £50 note for $100 note in Toronto and immediately spent it on a $96 day trip to Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mists, Happy memories. 😊
