McDonald’s is hiking the price of its cheeseburger for the first time in 14 years as the fast-food giant passes the effect of soaring costs onto customers.
The company told UK customers on Wednesday morning that it is lifting the price of a cheeseburger from 99p to £1.19, in the latest sign of mounting pressure on consumers.

The US has plunged into recession as soaring inflation hammers the world’s largest economy.
GDP fell 0.9pc in the second quarter, according to the Commerce Department. That came after a 1.6pc decline in the first three months of the year.
The two consecutive quarters of contraction mean the US is now in a technical recession.
Personal consumption, the largest part of the economy, rose 1pc. However, this was a slowdown from the previous period.
It comes as President Joe Biden grapples with surging inflation, which last month hit 9.1pc – a 40-year high.
The Federal Reserve last night confirmed its second 75 basis-point interest rate rise in an effort to keep a lid on soaring prices. However, the move will fuel concerns about a slowdown in the economy.

No, but as several posters have pointed out to you that it is good etiquette to make clear what is your own content and that which has been written by others and subsequently copied and pasted by you. It's also a flag regarding th copyright of the content concerned.

Re: Cost Living We're No Alone It's Not Brexit
What’s the point of this thread? Nobody is denying that other countries and areas are experiencing the same sort of problems as we are, but I started a thread about this
https://www.ft.com/content/ee2ce542-...d-57a8200a47ae
and asked why we were predicted to do worse than everyone bar sanctions hit Russia? Nobody was able to answer that question, but Brexit surely has to be on any list of possible reasons doesn’t it?

How is is “good etiquette” , I didn’t read that in the Terms & Conditions when I last looked in ?
If it’s copyright flag, then surely the moderators should remove it then ?
It’s an unofficial messageboard not the Financial Times :hehe:

There's another Cardiff City messageboard that regularly comes on here, lifts people's posts and then puts them on their board under someone else's name, you're happy with that are you?

Firstly, such is the etiquette regarding such things that I am not aware of any other poster on this message board not attributing content that has been copied from another source in such a way and continually. Not only is it respectful to the author concerned it makes it clear as to whether the content is the messageboard posters very own words or not - and which has a bearing as to how others may respond to the post. As TOBW states, the worst scenario is 'passing off' content as one's own.

I think that the vast majority of posters are intelligent enough to understand that there are various factors at play regarding differnet economies around the globe and that not all negative economic news is down to Brexit. On the other hand, you seem to deflect any negative news that may indeed be due to Brexit.

I'm sure the majority are very intelligent , probably more than me if that's were your going .
I am not deflecting ,I am painting another picture globally that includes war , pandemic and somewhere in there is Brexit.
I am fed up of politicians and media cracking on what Brexit has caused , its done we need a vision on where we go next , not look back and moan when something goes wrong , there must exist opportunities outside of a federal bureaucrat , slow moving system , if it was that successful the world would have joined it ..
I voted to remain as there are / were risks unravelling the UK from an institution its belonged too for so long , and perhaps I listened too much to project fear
I simply have a view we could exist outside Europe , that does not make me stupid or un intelligent as its a view , too date no one has offered any startling evidence to the contrary the value of pound is okay as is the FTSE .
If this is a massive mistake , why hasn't the Labour said "this is crap, were doomed ,hold onto to yer hats were going back into Europe " elect us on that mandate please along with there silent partners Liberals and Greens ??
Or is it undemocratic turning over voters choices , as Sir Kier try to do in parliament was it 43 times ?? in the Teresa May era , hey Labour could have avoided all this and backed her at the time, instead of thinking inwards and arguing internally ????????

I'd fall over if you could prove to me you really voted Remain, Davy Crockett, lol! But if you really did you can console yourself you did the right thing and thank goodness you had enough wherewithal to pay attention to "Project Fear".
If you're telling the truth your conscience is clear and I will look upon you in a new light. Oh and by the way you can ditch the racoon hat now lol.

Of course you can..but don't think that the rest of the EU will bend over backwards to make life easier for you when you had all the perks before. And yes sure perks cost money. Nothing is free in this world nothing good anyway.

data from the IMF shows that the cost of living crisis isn't as bad as many countries if you're in the richest 20% - but one of the worst if you're in the poorest 20%. and the UK's gap between richer and poorer is the largest anywhere

I do find some of this a bit questionable. Anyone on Universal Credit is getting £650 odd quid to bills - the first amount received last month. Everyone is getting £65 off monthly bills from October. I admit, the latter disproportionately benefits the wealthy, but it also disproportionately benefits those in smaller homes, with theoretically smaller bills..ie, the poorer. Always a bit wary when there are statistical outliers like the UK and Estonia here.
Don't dispute it hits the poorer more (like everything..thats why being poor isnt good!) but still..

Gap between rich and poor in the UK matters less IF the overall standard of living is higher than those more "equal" societies. It'll be due to free market economics you raving communist.

No, I just think seeing two such clear outliers is perculiar and makes me question it somewhat, especially in light of the support I outlined - My ex (on Universal Credit) is getting more £1,000 towards bills that those not on it aren't getting for example.
