I am more worried about Germany and OUR ongoing proxy war and sanctions against Russia


German benchmark electricity price jumped >25% on Monday to pass €700 per megawatt-hour for the first time. The level is about 14 times the seasonal average over the past five years

Europe is in deep trouble




Food prices could double from here.

Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway has gone up a hell of a lot more!

[f56] 22/8/2022 19:38

In 2007 Tesco was worth 500p.

Fair enough hazl. So did Buffet. In 2007 Buffet stated that Tesco was the only stock in Europe worth investing in. One year later he sold and said that he had made a big mistake on national news.

I still like Tesco.

Case in point, Rishi Sunak has just caused massive inflation to occur in the UK. It’s called furlough or printing of money!

Is the UK a basket case?

[f56] 22/8/2022 17:41

Does the UK care about investment at all?

[f56] 22/8/2022 17:39

The real question investors should ask is how much have they made in Tesco since 2000? Would they have been better off investing in the S&P 500?

Your Tesco cat food is probably made by Mars anyway yf23_1

How Aldi and Lidl stunned the big supermarkets to become a middle-class obsession

As inflation surges and households try to save money, the German discounters are running rampant

As the cost of everyday staples surges, the weekly shop has become a grim reminder of the inflation crisis gripping Britain.

Amazon scales back plans for expansion of till-less convenience stores as sales fall short of expectations

The US giant opened its first UK shop under the Amazon Fresh brand in Ealing, west London, last year and has 19 in total.

But it is now understood to have walked away from talks on dozens of further sites and to have called off the search for more locations.

However, a handful of openings will still take place this year in areas where Amazon had already committed to a lease, The Sunday Times reported.

One source said sales at most of the supermarkets failed to meet expectations.

So, Tesco took Mars Whiskas off the shelves because they say their price increase was unjustifiable..
.. and yet I bought the same Tesco catfood for £4.10 yesterday which has just gone up from £3.60 last week, (£3.50 apr, £2.65 jan).

2.65 to 4.10 this year, thats 54.7% rise !

From The Lodger

Martin, your being very generous with your estimates.

We are with British Gas£100 per month for gas & electric. Then it changed in April to £300. And in July they tried to take £578.
There are only 3 of us at home. We all work. We only use the gas to heat water a total of only 3 hours in a 24 hour day max.

I think crazy is an understatement - it is as if people are deliberating trying to weaken all our institutions, especially the ones keeping us , as a nation, safe by implementing these ludicrous hiring decisions.

[tuftymatt] 18/8/2022 15:02

It is a crazy world we live in Gecko!!

I have been lucky enough to hire many people over the years and at one point had the most diverse team you could imagine. They all came about by picking the best person for the job at the time. If I had to work to a script drawn up to tick boxes it would never have happened that way but naturally it just did.

[tuftymatt] 18/8/2022 13:36

We are all human beings. Nothing more and nothing less whatever we look like or how we choose to define ourselves.

"Anyone know the ethnic mix for TV adverts?"

50% Black.

Hardly reflective of UK population at all.

And those that aren't black black, are mixed race.

[tuftymatt] 18/8/2022 08:37

So positive to see this one climbing back up in waves.
Can we challenge the May high this autumn with everything going on out there??
