Inflation drops again

[life on mars]

Going in the right direction thank god.

Cheapest fuel I've see for both petrol and diesel is is £1.39 @ Texaco on the road between Bridgend and Porthcawl , next best appears to be Asda at Coryton

Ovo have just dropped my standing order for Electricity by £30 bucks a month .

Something is happening ?

Still need to rein in the Supermarkets and Fuel sellers

That means things are going up slightly less than they were. Party time.

Was always going to happen, just took a few months longer than expected, good news all the same.

Re: Inflation drops again

It just means that some of last year's whopping increases are now "in the baseline".

eg
If something doubled in price last year, that is 100% inflation.
The price has stayed the same until now, but has just gone up by a tenth...

Whoopee" inflation is down to 10%!

But things are still more expensive.

Re: Inflation drops again

This is a very useful barometer of prices for fuel , https://petrolmap.co.uk/account

I just adjusted my life in terms of expenditure to mitigate the impact and that has worked well , cut out wasteful buying of luxury or stupid goods, drove slower , better controls around gas and electricity use , shopped by best value across all the supermarket's instead of just going to one , drank less , looked for better holiday breaks , cut my TV Subscriptions .

Feel i have mitigated the impact ..

And that's "working well" in your book? Life is less comfortable and convenient?

Never will we see where it was a few years ago though. Like petrol when it shoots up before slowly coming back down. They'll tell you it's falling and you should be happy, forgetting of course it's not really the case.


Still, if they didn't make billions of pounds in profit every few months they'd get very upset I'm sure

What rankles me is the price at the pumps differing I drove past 4 Texaco garages and the price ranged form £1.39 to £149 and they boast about a " proud to be in Wales " factor, it pushes out of one of the biggest refineries in Europe 270,000 barrels a day , employs a few thousand folk .. a standard lowest price for us in South Wales please , hey Mr Drakeford please have a word with them at the next hospitality event .

Sadly there will always be the same dopey ****ers who fall for it every time.

Seen a 3 bed house go up for rent in Merthyr yesterday £900 per month. New build but nothing special, small and located on a very busy road about 3 miles from town centre. People blinded by the fact it had a new cheap kitchen and brand new carpets. Someone from Cardiff “This is a steal, that would be £1400 where I live”. Nevermind that 4/5 years ago the rent for 3 beds was around 4/500 a month and has practically doubled in that time.

This so called “Levelling up” with London and SE message seems to have got confused somewhere along the way. Costs seem to be levelling up but not wages!!

It’s a race to the bottom
