    It'll be £2 by August though...looked for a link (from a serious source, not 'Best' or 'Heat' ........but no luck.
    So IMHO a Magnum deffo going to hit £2 by August Bank Holiday because....because.....oh..inflation is hitting their costs hard so they need to keep prices ahead of the game.

    You could of course decide not to buy. Tell the shopkeeper to keep the magnum and get your 1 pound back.

    Prices cannot continue to go up if nobody buys

    Of course you also save 1 pound 25 pence, very MSE ;)

    A White Vanilla Magnum while very tempting, is not an essential food source

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach.

    Calm down Pickley. It's far too early for an argument. FYI - I was on the "property train" but thankfully alighted before the delays slowed the train to a virtual stand still.
    Keep the right company because life's a limited business.

    I am pleased that you are ok, but if things dont improve I worry what will happen to several of my friends that have their own small business.
    Only this week petrol has risen three times from £1.08 per litre to £1.16, how on earth will this be able to be passed on to their customers?
    I think the courts are going to be very busy soon when more and more go bankrupt.

    The new world has been ushered in, high inflation, soaring fuel and food - THIS IS THE WAY IT WILL STAY, get used to it.

    Did you think billions of people suddenly climbing onto the resources ladder would have no impact on inflation?
    These people are growing in number - enjoy
