£70,000 to supply 7,500 packed lunches, sarnie, crisps and a bottle of water to Lothian and Border Polis for Edinburgh match day officers.

To be fair, it includes an 11" baguette which would be about £20 from Subway on its own.

While it seems a lot, £9.33 is only slightly more than most would pay on lunch in Edinburgh I'd imagine.

As an example: A sandwich with 3 fillings in the cafe next to my office is £4.50 and it's less than "11 inches long". Bottle of water ~ £1. Crisps ~ 50p. I guess they are also being delivered to various stations?

The 45 page document is class though hehe

FH! 20 quid?

If that's true, well all I can say is the intelligence of people and their money in this nation today knows no bounds if they would pay that, for what is essentially no more than junk food.

For £9.33 a head, I'll turn up with a mobile chippie van, provide a fish supper with plenty of choice, bread and butter (choice of sliced brown or white, and option of bap) plus a mug of builders, with free refill.

And still turn a healthy profit.

Though the tea leaves wouldn't be of Scottish origin, at least the sort of tea leaves involved with the mugs of builders. hehe

Well, everyone knows that it'd be a lot cheaper if you just got two 5.5" baguettes but put them through as a single.
