impact of the rising cost of living and what it has had on a home—made lunch. let's cross live and to our business correspondence and the simpson who is in the newsroom. what is this telling us in terms of how much sandwiches cost now compared to before? ~ , ., .., much sandwiches cost now compared to before? ~ , ., .. ., ., much sandwiches cost now compared to before? ~ i. ., ., ., before? well, you can learn a lot about food _ before? well, you can learn a lot about food price _ before? well, you can learn a lot about food price inflation - before? well, you can learn a lot about food price inflation from i before? well, you can learn a lot. about food price inflation from the humble sandwich. the bread, the spread and all the fillings. we have been looking at the cost of the ingredients. that's across the main supermarkets, their own label standard ranges, with the help of the retail research firm associate. then we worked out the price per portion based on suggested serving sizes —— the retail research firm associa. it was a flavour. the cheese sandwich, most popular apparently, up 37% compared with last year. ed and kress has gone up even higher. and then tuna and mayo,

not as much but still pretty chunky rise and then if you are making a packed lunch a bag of crisps from a multi up by nearly a third, piece of fruit, that's up, wash it all down with only real —— own label colour and it is 7% higher year—on—year —— own label cola. why feed prices rising? food supply chain is really quite complex and it can take a long time for cost base for the business to come through the system of the milk is one exception as we have seen prices go down on the shelves. boss of pret a manger make 7 million sandwiches a year and lots of food on the go and his energy bills are still sky—high because like a lot of firms he hedged his bets and locked into high—energy rates which will continue vitally to the autumn. he has also given staff three pay rises and he reckons that if inflation really is stubbornly high he may

have to them higher again so i think for a lot of businesses the cost pressures are still real. food price inflation will peak, certainly, we think, by the second half of this year, but that doesn't mean that food prices will then go down. it means they will just food prices will then go down. it means they willjust be rising more slowly. means they will 'ust be rising more slowl . . ., ~ means they will 'ust be rising more slowl . . ., ,, , ., , . slowly. emma, thank you very much indeed for that _ slowly. emma, thank you very much indeed for that comprehensive - indeed for that comprehensive explanation of what exactly is happening to food prices in the uk. let's turn our attention now to dominate from food to football and language. perley, arguably the best footballing history is now also an adjective. the wood pellet was added to the michaelis portuguese dictionary printed in brazil to denote something or someone extraordinary, incomparable or unique and it was already being used in comparable informally in the country of brazil. most viewed video on our website and it is a good
