Oil prices have been steadily rising again over the past week to help pile misery on the UK economy. Expect to see prices at the pumps rising soon and the knock on effects it has on everything else such as food prices etc.
Why are we here?......................because we are not all there.

    Nah, inflation will fall back this year, Merv said so. In fact, the BoE are so concerned about inflation falling too rapidly, they're doing more QE.

    Food inflation is supposed to be falling, so I heard. Not on all food items, obviously. Certain "niche" foods, such as chicken, seem to have risen quite a bit recently.

    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think.
