I am sick of seeing adverts advertised goods for ‘Only’ and then showing a ridiculous high price, do they think we are mugs ?

Mac, I do laugh at those ads as the length of the ad normally denotes the ridiculous product they are trying to sell, for example Dormeo have ads every day telling you there is a sale that must end on Monday the ad seems to last for ages, then you have the daft advert with the Chinese guy trying to sell you his invention of the machine to put your feet on that ad lasts forever but the price does include ‘free delivery delivery’!!

Carol, that’s cheap for eggs I think the Burford Browns are about £4 for 6, thing is they are really lovely eggs, I paid £3:80 for 6 Lizzies Layers at a food centre in Ludlow yesterday, again expensive but very flavoursome.

Now Sainsburys are saying they won’t be selling brown eggs as they want to sell white eggs they are giving some cock and bull story about helping Net Zero!!!

Carol, it is about 40 mins drive from where I live but passes through wonderful countryside, not only do I visit the food centre, they can tell you exactly where the meat has come from, there is usually a very good market in Ludlow, but I also visit one of the best NatWest Banks, no machines, just people who sit behind the counter who know who you are, you deal direct with people who answer questions, the interior is like stepping back in time fantastic wood panelling that kind of thing, every time I visit I receive a survey asking about my visit, I always request that the Ludlow branch is never closed, so far so good.

Yes prices have wallopped up over the last few weeks The reason is simple transport and production costs have risen exponentially since he conflict in the Middle East.
They will be harder to bring down with UK Government financial policies and taxes also fuelling costs.
If we get a new Government in 2029 don't expect a sudden shaft of sunlight to shine down on us all. Rather like halting a supertanker. It will take a considerable time!
