    It has made things more quieter in England....went to buy some weedkiller on Saturday to kill the weeds in me garden and its up 50%, it seems it was the Weeds lucky day...

    You can certainly notice prices moving upwards across a broad range of things. As always inflation particularly in the price of basic items hit people on low incomes and fixed incomes hardest. I can certainly see it in my business the number of companies sending price increase emails is a regular message now. In reality, these price increases get passed on to the consumer, in addition there are increases in pay to compensate for inflation that also get passed on. I advertised a role this week with a salary range of €80-90k, last year that role was paying €75k. The agency say to expect it to take six months to fill

    Ireland has always been an expensive place to live , mainly due to successive governments making goods and services expensive and taxing people so much!!

    Next winter is going to be difficult for many people here . I think some will have to choose between eating or heating their homes, especially the elderly.

    Stuff like own brand milk, bread etc etc is up 10 to 15%. It doesn't effect me thankfully (few euro a week isn't an issue) but I still notice. Anyone struggling before I can't imagine how they are to potter away now.

    €10 per liter for weed killer, felt like I was giving them poisoned caviar!

    its a vicious circle MrBean
    was with a lady yesterday that saw her business take a big dip and had to reduce her prices to try and get clients through her door. Still she just surviving at that and did feel for her,
    With Covid and now this its bad she says
    her rent went up, electric gas all up, everyone in the same boat and really up to the Government to bring in some measures to ease the burden a little
