A bacon sandwich might be the most elaborate food you would expect to see a man eating on a scaffold.

But Andy Penniceard was treated to a sandwich which surely surpasses all other workman's lunches on Tuesday.

To celebrate his 31st birthday on that day, Andy's sister Anna had what must be the most expensive sandwich in the world delivered to his house in Lyminge Gardens, Wandsworth, as he worked on the outside of it.

Costing £85, the sandwich is made by chefs at London's Selfridges and contains rare wagyu beef, black truffle mayonnaise, foie gras, brie de meaux and English plum tomatoes.

So not your average builder's sarnie then.

"It was very rich but it was delicious," Andy said after eating the gourmet lunch.

As something of a foodie, his sister had joked she would get him the sandwich if he refused to tell her what he wanted for his birthday.

"I got the idea when I was in Selfridges and saw a camera crew filming it for television. When I told my brother I was going to do it for a joke though, he told me that would actually be the perfect present," she said.

"But it was tricky to organise my boyfriend had to throw Andy's cheese toastie on the floor to stop him eating lunch, and he wasn't impressed!"

At £85, it may not be a snip, but this was one working lunch Andy is certain to remember.
