Originally posted by speling bee View PostBut that will not be about commodity price inflation for the drink ingredients (I expect), as the ingredient costs must be negligible. It might be introducing a new price point, or softening up the market for withdrawing 330ml cans (which would be a cost saver - I expect).
As far as it being an easy mistake to make - surely that would only be for a semi-literate innumerate cretin?

Inflation is NOT the problem.
It's the general lack of disposable income that's the problem.

Much more QE is in the pipeline and a lot more inflation awaits us.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostSo how long do we have to wait until the CUK brains trust who predicted QE would lead to runaway inflation admit they don't know squat?
Or is it like climate change, we have to keep waiting because you'll be right eventually?
