Re: Interest Rates

Bugs and lab produced protein represents fantastic value. Exotic luxury foods such as milk, cheese, beef & chicken not so much, and they should be reserved for the people who can afford them, such as billionaires, royalty and government officials.

Will people cut down on beer and wine next year?

I would have thought so, and pubs will suffer, it's coffee shops that amaze me, there are more and more shops every year and they all seem busy of £3 odd a coffee?

Re: Interest Rates

Attendances at pubs I attend are certainly declining.

Lardy and co will be quick to surmise that's because I like to interview punters and avail them of my doom-laden prognostications.

What's the use of those without oxygen?

When I said crude oil is the most important commodity I meant from an economic perspective. That's something, I suspect, we will become acutely aware of in next to no time when it becomes increasingly unaffordable.

You can get 5% 3yr fixed or 4,6% 2yr fixed - these were available before the latest interest rate increase...

Agriculture requires energy, and removing fossil fuels at a rapid pace will have a direct impact, as will moving farmers off their land. There is also the limits on fertiliser use to contend with.
