Last week the Office of Fair Trading (The Government?) fined the supermarkets about £116million quid for over charging us for milk in their shops.

So where does that fine money go?

Straight into Government coffers?

And who pays for it?

We pay for it, cos all the supermarkets will do will be to increase other prices to pay the fines. So we get ripped off twice.

How is that right?

How did they come to the conclusion customers were being overcharged for milk?
Aren't shops allowed to charge what they like? If it's too dear just don't buy it.

They colluded to set the price higher.

They've admitted it.

Well Sainsbury, Asda and Safeway (now Morrisons) have.

Tesco haven't and are still being investigated.
