I bet it miraculously drops though for September, just in time to set next year's pension increase figure. Not that I'm cynical or anything ... 😉 😉

I hazard a guess that each link in the chain is putting up their prices as their costs have increased, NI, energy, raw materials along with the minimum wage increase.

The Farmers are still being held to ransom by the supermarkets.

Just heard on BBC News that supermarket basics have gone upwards for the 7th month in a row. And it's week upon week upon week. Not to mention shrinkflation.

Exactly who is raking in the profits? The manufacturers and producers deny making a profit, the wholesalers also deny profiteering and the retailers claim they're doing all they can to help the customer.

Tell me another!

So, I'm left to assume that the only one filling up his bank account is The Man In The Moon......
