Dear All,
If you'd like a good, light, case on the build up of a cost and how
ridiculous cost accumulation and auditing systems can be, go and have a look

Could keep an A level class busy for a while.
Re the illegality of Coca Cola's spiffing wheeze, I think this goes back to
the late 70s when supermarkets and other shops went through the inflationary
phase at the time sticking ever higher prices on top of each other. I
think, subject to legal advice, that Coca Cola could be guilty of falling
foul of that.
Sorry, don't remember the exact law.
