I think something along these lines is professional, maybe change a few bits to suit yours

I don't bother with letters on this now, (unless i planned a big increase)

If custy's in and I put a pound more on, i just say new price.

they either say how much is it? (custy doesn't remember, so why draw attention to increase)

Custy says oh has it gone up? (me: yes everyone's gone up £1)

Or if custy's not in just leave bill with new price on.

When i use to announce a price increase it was usually met with moans and groans; and it feels a bit like asking custy's permission if it's alright ::)

when i goto to petrol station or tescos they don't give announcements telling of price increases ;D

Absolutely right. They nearly all say 'how much is it' - what's the point of giving them a chance to moan ;D

I use to think like that Ian, but found it was took as it was up for negatiation :( (not all but, got me down)

Petrol stations do have the prices in big numbers, but it's same price per litre for everyone.

My custies prices vary ;)
