TOPGUN749 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I have just been out for a bit of shopping,they tell us inflation is 9%,when everything in the shop is 10-25% up and changing every visit. Petrol now £8.63 a gallon,this time last year was £5.86 over 47% up,and it’s not even E5 as it was last year! I wonder what rise they will give the pensioners and others next April? Another measly 3.1%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 This did from James Callaghan in 1979 and, with hope, it'll do for Johnson at the next General Election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBodyImportant Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) I feel you from the states. I was in Walmart yesterday and Eggs are $2 a dozen, milk over $3 a gallon, gas $4.50 a gallon, shot gun shells $32 a 100, beef was $3 a pound, Walmart Bread was a $1.00 a loaf. That when you know it’s bad when bread is a dollar, it’s .88 cent my entire life. I sent my wife this picture and she was like damn, it’s over.

Wow I wish our fuel was $4.50 a gallon and shotgun cartridges $32 per hundred 😂 18 hours ago, NoBodyImportant said: I took these pictures the day Biden took office because I knew his policies where going to hurt.

We were told (not formally) that we (the tax payers) would foot the Covid bill, so to me its no surprise, there is definitely some profiting, again to be expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
