I think they will still sell for similar prices, but it's an excuss to ramp up the balloons on cars and larger DEAL OF THE CENTURY banners as the deal is 'getting better' !!

It's scientific fact that people can't help but be tempted when they see balloons tied to a car on a garage forecourt - it's a sure sign of excellence and a genuine bargain to be had!!!!

but as I said earlier, they arent actually advertising these deals, you have to ask for them!

Consequence of Sterling tanking!!!. Anything imported will be jumping in price around 20% to reflect the devaluation......

Absolutely. Anyone thinking consumer prices would go down ad-infinitum was as wrong as anyone thinking house prices would go up non-stop forever.

Clearly, lots of people seemed to think that Sterling collapsing was just going to mean more expense on foreign holidays. We are now seeing the first signs of 'stagflation' - if you define inflation as price increases that is.

Personally, I think we are going to see higher prices on a lot of stuff (particularly essentials but also some luxuries that can't be made cheaper) combined with a tanking economy and a shrinking money supply. Not a nice combo. Attempts to bolster the money supply by printing the stuff risk triggering massive inflation in response as money is flushed out of save havens.
