The Hot Pie Tax Rumbles On.
As the debacle of the new ‘Hot Pie Tax’ rumbles on the
international community looks on in disbelief and many have checked their
calendars' to make sure it’s not April 1
st. Bizarrely if you now buy
your pie below ambient temperature there will be no VAT. Retailers are
predicting a surge of customers loitering around the shops until their pies go
cold. Sweeney Todd has told reporters today that this tax is scandalous
and he fears for his livelihood. He further stated that he would make sure George
Osborne is eating humble pie by the end of the week. As a great lover of all
things pie related I have signed the petition ‘By George, The Tax Is Too High
On The Pie Oik’!
It's enough to make a dog give up pies for good, but there again cold pie is better than no pie !
