I already know them but that's not the point of this thread is it? The point, in case you didn't understand it, was to do with inflation and I found it rather humorous that 'UK Essentials' included booze and fags

If you live up north they are essential. Or at least it's cheaper than a trip to dignitas.

Look them up yourself you thick lazy twunt.

Smoking and drinking per head of population.

They are more essential in mainland Europe.

what is the logic behind that - and where would duck/quail/ squirrel feature in the inflation league

It's because chickens are born, fed, and killed to be eaten in an incredibly short span of time. For cows and the like that time period is much greater.
When the price of grain or whatever they eat goes up, you see it reflected in chickens almost instantly, whereas with beef theres a latency.

I would guess ducks and quails are similar? I don't know how they are raised. Squirrels prices are more sensitive to Acute Oak Decline than they are to general food prices.

I just love the last line in the image 'UK Essentials' and the 2nd and 3rd items...Tobacco and Alcohol

Reading the news on various new papers. Why is the UK intent on becoming so much like 1930's Germany?

And Britain's most popular party on social media (primarily Facebook) is...Britain First. They have more likes than any other political party. I'm not too sure how, or why, although they seem to be pretty good at creating certain types of viral content (it often cleverly disguises its online campaigns as support for the Armed Forces or against animal cruelty) which don't always show who's behind it thus people 'like' it. Personally I think: https://www.facebook.com/britianfirst is better

Last week passing a law that ensures the surveillance on individuals is most intense of anywhere in the EU.
Inflation out of control, massive debts.
Extradite any UK citizen at the request of a US court without evidence.
Boris is buying a water cannon.

Hysterical pish.

Faster turnover I'm guessing?

From birth, a chicken is ready for the pot sooner than a cow.

Also worth noting that you'll see inflation in chickens etc much sooner than you will in beef for example.

Monetary inflation has a certain horizon beyond which price inflation will follow. Worth noting.

Also worth noting that if, lets suppose, retailers are absorbing price inflation then that isn't to say that it doesn't exist.

But London is the centre of our entire economy.

You think those rates of inflation since 2007 are okay? Food @ 27%. Glad my salary has gone up by the same amount since.

27% in 7 years? That's 3.5% inflation. Hardly comparable to 1930s Germany is it?

Deep Fried Scooter is right. I went in to the butchers yesterday to buy a pork chop. I had £350,000 in a rucksack but I was robbed. Guess what they took ?
yep!! my bike
