Having to cut the grass in the middle of November.
Don't sicken me. I thought the last cut at start of Nov would do it! Definitely need to do it again  :(

Grass cut yesterday too.. 21.2 degrees in Wales today

I'm glad I'm not the only one having to make a shape at cutting grass at the moment.

On another note we drove past a house last night and they had their Christmas tree up already!!
Half my street has theirs up! I thought Halloween was bad, barely a week had passed and the first house put their Christmas decorations up! Absolute weirdos.

Aye have it up 2 months before Christmas then cant wait to get them down on St Stephens day, just look at me people, have to be first up first down.
Jaysus I be the opposite, hate seeing decorations up early but then hate to see them coming down as well.

Yep put them up about 15th Dec-6th Jan

quit yo jibbajabba

Business idea for anyone that can be arsed - 2 month advent calendars. Im not proud i had this thought.....

11.1% inflation.


Highest since the 70s.

It's depressing.

What's even more depressing, according to Martin Lewis - and I never really thought of it like this, reducing inflation doesnt reduce prices.
Lets say inflation reduces to 5% next year.
Something that cost £100 last year, costs £111.10 this year.
@5% inflation next year that same item will cost £116.65.
So costs are going to keep going up.

If we keep increasing the wages the prices will go up to match that also
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Only someone young would think that.
However, things like Gas prices might actually come down in 2 years, depending on how things work out.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

No they won't.

This inflation is not due to excess demand, it's due to material sourcing costs rising AND getting ripped off by the BP's of the world.

Don't buy the lie.

Not sure I follow your thinking there.  Increased wages are an increased cost to suppliers/retailers.  An increased cost that will most likely be passed on to consumers by increased prices??  Thereby fuelling further inflation.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

Where since time began have you ever seen the price of food go down, if things get sorted, inflation etc, costs go down, suppliers will only end up making more profit as they not be reducing  prices.

Think I asked that question a few months back here, i.e. does 'deflation' ever happen?

Yes. I'm pretty sure there was a short period of deflation in the mid 2010s. If not deflation it certainly was at 0%.
