Have been expecting a down turn in the sector ever since covid struck, but if anything due to the shortages there's never been a better time to be employed in the industry.
My firm has a massive interest in it too, being a major supplier of parts....

SWMBO is needing to return to Northern Ireland shortly for a couple of days and we're querying whether she needs to hire a car; in 2019 it cost about £40-60 for three days' car hire. Currently they're asking £300+ for the same car and hire length

except they aren't as they are short of chips. at least 9 months wait list for most new cars.
i imagine parts manufacturers should be benefitting as the generic "fleet" is getting older thus should need more replacement parts to keep older cars running that would have been swapped out for new...

Mmm, the 'Poundbakery' in Accrington now seems to sell one, not 2 items for a pound and some single Items are £1.50. 🤔 It's always busy though. I bought 2 items today for £2 and asked for the receipt as I had to pay by card which I hate doing for items less than a tenner, but I didn't have enough coinage in my tweed and leather purse.🧐 Why ask for the receipt you may ask. Well, I'm not saying I don't trust the seller when you pay by card, but for peace of mind I don't want that thought at the back of my mind that they've mistakenly put a 0 after the £2.

Well, it's £15 a month + joining fee for 2 examinations and 2 hygienist visits.
I used to get wisdom teeth x-rayed every 2 years so God knows what that will cost now!.
But the bullet and signed up, to be fair my dentist was always right with me so hopefully she still will be.
What can you do..

Sounds a similar plan to mine…which includes X-rays as needed (at least every 2 years). Ask them what is covered if it’s not in the paperwork

I'm now having to play Virgin Galactic off against Blue Origin for next year's space flight price. If I can't pay 2021 prices I may have to reconsider and go with another Super Yacht instead

Thanks, I'll have a chat when I have my checkup.
Securing a place was first priority so one less thing to worry about.

Mine is a scheme offered by the practice directly rather than a 3rd party insurer

Times must be tough if you can’t afford the flight and the yacht. You have my sympathy
