Cost Of Living Crisis

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis

As curmudgeonly as you often are, I really do hope your grub cupboards are groaning with goodies and you've had the foresight to have already bought Christmas gifts.

By then, you along with many of us may very well be reminiscing about life in the UK just six months earlier. We'll recall how food was plentiful and affordable, CPI inflation was a mere 9%, the streets were still teeming with vehicles, there were never power cuts, violence wasn't all around, most working age people had jobs, gangs of organised thugs never looted supermarkets and 8pm to 6am curfews were unheard of.

Oh gwan. Post this weeks Asda delivery order so we can get a sense of your stocking up!

The secret to prepping successfully in one word, rotation.

Mitigating against hyperinflation is a tad more difficult.

You missed out on the relevance of real cost of living poverty :
No access to subscribed TV , broadband, mobile phones, car ownership, season tickets, socialising, device ownership.... ect etc ..

It's all bollocks this modern cost of living poverty criss we should rename it as cost of Iiving reality .

I do wonder how less emotional this would if a Labour Government were in power trying to deal with a cost of living crisis which is 90% driven by global influences.

It'll be everything. I think I remarked why pay X amount more for anything you know you will you will need six months hence and beyond when you can purchase the same today at a much lower cost.

Someone asked me earlier this week when grumbling about the increasing cost of living: "why are the government letting this happen?" My reply was: "they are making it happen."

He looked confused. "Another Teletubby," thought I.

I presumed his second paragraph related to homeless people, a minuscule fraction of the population.

Your guess is as good as mine and I'm relatively sane!

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis

I noticed today town was heaving with £5.50 plus drinkers... they weren't the weathly folk , just ordinary fun loving middle earners , without a care in the world and no real cost of living worries.

I mean they could...and bear with me because this is groundbreaking...not be the people who are going to suffer most during a cost of living crisis

Or maybe they loaded up in spoons at 2 quid a pint and bought one expensive one to look cool

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis

The weird thing about all of this is that even the government haven't sunk as low as to say that the cost of living crisis isn't real or that nobody in the UK could possibly be in actual poverty, and really they just can't afford their superspeed broadband.

It begs the question, just how detached is LOM, when not even the most detached people in the UK (the current cabinet) are in the same ballpark.

22.5 k posts in and you are pondering the level of LoM's detachment. I am similarly perplexed how flies venture nowhere near you in these clammy nights!

What? Please say you're kidding! We have enough Teletubbies around here without you joining their ranks.
