Will prices ever drop

Besides council tax everyone's wage goes to stinking rich arseholes with massive yachts and private jets.
Everything is privatized.
Rich fuckers own everything. And we're supplementing their mega wealth.

We import a great deal of our stuff, including much of our food.

Some years back, we voted to devalue our currency. Some people even said it was a good thing. Clue - it wasn't! What surprises me, in truth, is not that prices have gone up, but how relatively little they have gone up taking all factors into consideration. Obviously, we have to factor Ukraine and Covid into the picture.

We are poorer than we were, that's just a fact. It's showing itself in low income increases (for most) and high inflation. Mind you, some at the top end are undoubtedly taking the piss. (But if you moan about that, you're 'envious' or a 'Commie'.)

Get used to it. If you're lucky it won't get substantially worse. But I see nothing in the economic barometer to make me think it is getting substantially better any time soon. The contrary, if anything.

My advice? Be born to rich parents or develop a rare skill not easily replaced by AI.

It’s a shame but what is the point in sitting in a skanky old pub paying £5-6 a pint when you can by a crate for a tenner.

Company. Little else.

I watched the pub quiz episode last night. Very clever. Joan wrote down the answers to use for next week’s quiz with Eddie telling her what a great idea that was.

One time, Frank in my local mentioned he’d been to a pub quiz earlier that night. I went “The capital of Chile is definitely Santiago.” He looked blank. I swear nobody seemed to watch it back in the day.

Went to the London stadium last weekend and for a Fanta and a sprite and 4 hotdogs they wanted 43 quid they can fuck right off

7p in mid-70s Leicestershire. £2.90 today in the impoverished North East. But I am sure 4 Yorkshiremen on here will better that.

7p! Wow.

Used to love going for a pint.
Hardly any decent pubs left round here now.
I've taken to having a beer at home on a Saturday afternoon

My local village used to be bouncing nearly every weekend.

Now you're lucky if you see 2 dozen people in the whole of the evening.

Give it 2 or 3 years and the small (proper) pubs, not big eateries, will go to the wall. How can they survive selling 20/30 pints on a weekday?

Weekends just keep their heads above water.
