[food and drink] join me for afternoon tea

Couple of days old but still ...

More money is spent on eating out than eating at home in Britain, official figures showed on Friday.

Spending on food and drink consumed outside the home doubled between 1992 and 2004 to 87.5 billion pounds, nearly two billion more than spending on food and drink for the home.

Many Brits now pride themselves on their exotic diet, yet the British still do eat in - it being the cheaper alternative. Spending on food and drink at home still rose by more than 50 percent between 1992 and 2004.

  1. Does America spend more money out than they do at home? I would eat out more often if I was in Britain too, who would always want to eat crackers at tea time?
