The Cost of Petrol

As petrol prices rise worldwide, I begin to see the domino effect in small little items. A couple of weeks back I mentioned that a food joint increased some of their dishes by 30 cents. I found out later that the burger stall at our canteen did the same thing as well. And today when I bought a slice of papaya at the fruit stall, the lady told me I gave her 20 cents short.

Papaya?!?! Costs 20 cents more????

I'll have to find another source of fresh fruit - 80cents for a measely slice of papaya just won't cut it no more.
