What you've found . . .

Robin Wrixon got in touch after she was charged 6.90 for a plain ham and cheese sandwich, on white sliced pan bread, at Larry Murphys, a pub on Lower Baggot Street in Dublin. The sandwich came without salad, crisps or any other trimmings.

Larry Murphy's says a plain sandwich normally costs about €4, although it charges 6.90 for its sandwich special, which comes with a side salad. It says Wrixon must have been overcharged by mistake and that it will happily rectify the error if she calls in.
