Brewers Fayre are doing free breakfast for kids at half term while charging adults £8.25.
Locally similar breakfasts are available for £5.99.
Is this not a case of charging adults more to provide the kids with food?.
I am a grandad but I think I would object if I was on my own.

It depends what Brewers Fayre usually charge for an adult breakfast. Unless they have put the price up just for half term, it seems fair enough to me.

You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Yes Frank.You don't get owt for nowt, or, as the late Milton Friedman put it, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The other issue of course is the difficulty in actually persuading children to get up in the morning and partake of breakfast. Brewers' Fayre may find there is little demand.

They probably serve them until quite late, jane.

It's all bad for you and the kids anyway. I imagine!
