Greggs had the fabulous final word after Sarah Vine said she paid £23.50 for 2 sausage rolls
To the world of Sarah Vine – no, stick with us, please – where the Daily Mail columnist (among many other things) has been travelling through Clapham Railway station.
We know this because she’s been tweeting about it. Not only that, she bought two sausage rolls there and apparently paid £23.50 for the pair. £23.50!
They weren’t even antique, just bought from a ‘normal kiosk’, apparently.
Insane indeed, and it prompted no end of questions and befuddlement, not to mention outright scepticism.
Hi. I’ve just been to every food outlet in the area. I can’t find anywhere that sells sausage rolls at the price. Can you let me know which one exactly. Thanks a lot.

If you could post a photo of the receipt, or simply the name of the establishment you used, I’ll investigate and write a story about this. Thanks. You were there at lunchtime on Wednesday 5th April, yes?

And of all the memorable responses ….
Sarah, you can make sausage rolls at home with 30p bags of rice. It’s no one’s fault but your own that you can’t budget properly x https://t.co/oMh1iMAnxs

i love working as a cashier at the clapham junction sausage roll kiosk, and adding an "infidel tax" on everyone eating pork products during ramadan. https://t.co/yiHZhi5al4

Why would you even admit this publicly? https://t.co/OEG509vozE

… this exchange was surely the best.
Just paid £5245 for a coffee and a doughnut at @GreggsOfficial at Waterloo East South Central. Just a normal caff. Bought by me, a normal person. Insane.

Last word to Vine, who said it was all totally true and she has the receipt to prove it.
Actually I have the receipt.

But also, don’t accuse me of lying.

So she wasn’t telling porkies, she was eating them (well actually her kids were, she bought the sausage rolls for them but anyway …) Next!
