Price rise

Tea is fairly grim. Give me coffee or I may blow up Parliament:

I seem to be receiving a stream of emails from companies advising of price rises across the board. I am not suprised really.

I expect they are "feeling the flow" Derek.
Metal is zooming up in price as tin is needed for the new generations of batteries for electric cars.
Our metal supplier is only supplying existing customers.
Pension contributions by employers have increased.
Rubber has gone up in price.
Asda eclairs have also gone up by 2p.

Better stock up in case of shortgaes then.

Good point Derek but eclairs only keep for a couple of days

They will freeze as long as its not dairy cream in them. Can have an eclair fridge instead of a beer fridge!. Not SHMOB will agree.

It is unfortunately an endless cycle based on supply and demand. The demand for X increases, thus the seller feels justified in raising the price to increase profit. This may well have a knock on effect on other products, thus A B C and D also go up in price. Now people's pay packets don't stretch as far as they did, consequently pay rises will inevitably occur, employers need to pay their workers more so they increase prices and so on ad infinitum.

Sadly Derek they are fresh cream.
I think we have found a major issue that needs attention.

Maybe you need to switch to a non-dairy product. Was just reading they have less saturated fats in them. Could always see how long that excuse lasts!. hehehe
