London wages, London land prices, London rent blah blah.

Still shocking

And The Black Mills Band playing thay much abused piece of music that accompanied the lad pushing his bike up Golds Hill.

Have you seen the price of a loaf of Hovis 😉
As it was Golds Hill they should have stayed local and used a Wurzels track 😄

It would be not much more than half that round here.

I had a coffee and a decent sized slice of Velvet cake for £5.35 in Café Velo last Sunday.

That's Cambridge prices...

Not sure Ely is any cheaper tbh... There's several new swanky tea & cake places I've not set foot in.

Can you please excuse a general whinge about the price of...

... DIY materials.

This week the prices of paint, wood preservative, marine ply, fencing posts and bolt down brackets have really gotten my goat.

I paid £2 for some hacksaw blades. I thought there would be about six in the packet but there were only two.

Excellent job by the person who designed the packaging

Probably learnt all he knows from whoever designs the Gillett Fusion razor blade packages

1st Class Stamps .... going up to £1.10

Quick data check, in 2003 - 28p
in the 20 years before that 1983 to 2003 it went from 16p to 28p. Nice one Royal Mail.

I can't remember the last time I bought a stamp, the last time I physically touched one was probably a few years ago when I worked at a place that printed them near Wolverhampton.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

In the last few years the only time I have used stamps has been sending the few Christmas cards each year that cannot be delivered in person.
I always had a book of 1st class stamps in my wallet out of habit - used up the last in December before they became out-of-date
didn;t realise the cost had risen so much!!!
