12 daylight robbery
Грабёж средь бела дня. Это выражение вошло в обиход в 1940-х гг. Существует предположение, что оно имеет в виду the window tax (налог на окна) 1691—1851 гг., который вынуждал граждан заколачивать окна. Это объяснение придумано и потому, может быть, не особенно верно.I never shop in the more fashionable parts of London. Some of the prices are daylight robbery. — Я никогда ничего не покупаю в модных районах Лондона. Некоторые цены там — просто грабёж средь бела дня.
