First Law of Contracting: Only the strong survive -
Originally posted by mattster View PostNot just building materials, of course, it seems like just about everything from used cars (up 30% this year) to energy prices. Conveniently, there's a separate explanatory narrative for each (micro chips, Russia etc) but let's get real. Something's going on, isn't it? Glad I locked in my 5 year sub 1% fix just a couple of weeks ago and don't have any cash savings."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Logic being that even if wait times come down next year, we'll still have it quicker if ordered now, and it looks like prices are only likely to go one way in the meantime.."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

In the UK we use natural gas to generate electricity since we have got rid of coal powered stations.............."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
