    Anyway not sure that would have affected the economy either way tbh.

    Any other ideas?

    But the great news is that people are spending more at petrol stations.

    Retail sales generally are looking poor.

    UK retail sales slide as inflation hits spending

    Breaking: Retail sales volumes across the UK plunged by 1.2% in May as inflation bites deeper into household budgets.

    This is a deeper fall than the 0.8% decline expected, and will fuel worries that the UK economy is faltering.

    It means that retail sales were only 0.9% higher than a year ago - the weakest rise since April 2013!

    The Office for National Statistic blames rising prices (inflation jumped to 2.9% in May).

    Ole Black, ONS Senior Statistician says:

    “The year-on-year growth in the quantity bought for retail sales in May 2017 was at 0.9%. We have not seen lower growth on the year since April 2013. Increased retail prices across all sectors seem to be a significant factor in slowing growth.”
    But the great news is that people are spending more at petrol stations.

    He'll just have to scrap them off for a bit of extra kebab sauce.
