Cost of living crisis - how are you all doing?

[MCFC Wirral]

Think that might be to do with summer holidays as well, but prices are silly for a pint these days, thankfully I’ve got into JW Lees stout at might local tastes better than Guinness and it’s £3.80 a pint!

I’d expect to pay around £4 here locally. It’s soul destroying to be one of four in a pub on a Saturday night. I tried three one time and it was largely the same everywhere.

Aye what a complete joke.

Announcing it just before christmas to be pricks. But also the fact our water companies are all twats. Dumping sewage and not investing in facilities.

I refuse to comply with hosepipe bans. I pay for the fucking water, i'll use it as i like. If they have issues fix it.

absolutely justified. It costs them big money to poison and pollute our rivers and sea.

Read that there has not been a reservoir built in the U.K. since 1992 while the population has increased by 10 million over that time.

No dividends or bonuses shoukd be paid out until it’s all sorted, if you’re a shareholder sorry but tough shit, either that or take back into ownership and give them 1p to the £1 they own.

The disaster that is privatisation has arrived.

It’s wank and I worry about every penny that I spend especially at this time of year.
