Surprised this looks like the first independent thread.
Well it appears that our inflation is similar to the EU in % terms for general shopping items. Fuel is something else but France actually owns the business and has better infrastructure ( no CND etc, back in the day) so has more control before that surfaces.
Anyhow it seems countries with more ties to Russia have double our ROI.
Alternatively are we now at a point and cost that is realistic. I mean have we had it too good too long and this is a delayed thing because of that. I’m sure posters can put more meat on the bone.

I was in France a couple of weeks ago. We went to do some food shopping for my mum who lives there - my wife reckoned it cost about 50% more than it would've here. This was in rural Brittany not downtown Paris.

It’s blatantly obvious that it’s the conservatives who’s fault it is.
It started with boris and now liz has carried it on.

At last!

It would certainly be good if we could rid ourselves of this war.

Truss just put another 100 billion on the never never credit card to ensure that our energy bills only doubled instead of quadrupling.....that's certainly not going to be good for inflation but what can you do....I'd say start prepping, buy some winter clothing and only heat the sitting room.

In short we are bound and gagged and your big beefy prison cellmate has a worryingly large erection.

It's not going to be fun, especially this winter.....let's hope it's better winter next.

Not all of us will suffer though. Many people including myself are locked into fixed price tariffs. I took out a two year fixed price tariff just over a year ago so I'm fine until August 2023 by which time hopefully prices will have come down somewhat
