Interesting piece from early in the year about the high price of eating out.

I've been feeling shocked by it myself; for all my poorly-paid career I've always been able to afford to eat out, as basically my one indulgence. Nowadays I find a lot of places are just beyond my budget. It's an uneasy feeling.

I know there are a lot of reasons for the price rises, but I suspect a prime villain are building owners endlessly raising commercial rents.
