Why doesn't nothing happen when it is found.out to be a con e.g. Petrol. A couple of weeks ago prices should have or could have come down by about 12p but went up by 2p - nothing happened except the companies say they bought it when the prices were higher yet when prices go up they go up as an immediate response

Does anybody seriously think that prices will ever return if there is a glut of a product

Does anybody think anyone in Westminster gives a hoot - we must never find ourselves with anyone in power with that much of a majority

Just my musings.....
Can't answer most of your questions, but I agree on petrol and I think energy prices will eventually come down from whatever peak they reach later this year.

See inflation is up to 5.4%, the highest figure for thirty years.
