Maybe of interest to some...

When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 what £1 would buy you, need just 91p in 1901 when she passed away.

When Queen Elizabeth came to the throne in 1952, what £1 would buy you, today, even with the BOE distorted inflation figures, need £23 today.

In 1952 the average house in the UK cost £1,891 whereas today costs £270,452.

Under Victoria to run the UK and the British Empire needed just 5,000 civil servants whereas today just to run the UK, the UK has over 600,000 civil servants.

During Victoria's reign Government expenditure was circa 8% of GDP whereas today it is over 50% = today the government is bigger than the private sector.

In Victorian times Britain had sound money, the economy was N0:1 in the world and the private sector flourished whereas today I'll let you make you own mind up - 1969 discussions started about building a 3rd runway at Heathrow, over 50 years later and still the discussions to on and on and on but the runway is still not built.

They say the likes of Tesco and Sainsbury's will hold up during times of inflation as people still need to eat...all I can say is really???

A family goes to the social services pleading for benefits because they can not afford to feed their children and the family is going hungry.

When the social services looked into this families banking their very quickly find this family has over £1,000 of subscriptions per month, Netflix, Amazon Prime, iPhone, Apple Music, subscriptions for many Apps etc, so where is this putting food and feeding the family first come from???

I've heard so many people say that they can not live with out their phone, their phone takes priority over even buying food for themselves - what the hell is going on in the West? when people put having a smart phone above feeding their own family - this is definitely Brave New world rather than 1984.

It's as though their phone has become their life support machine for them and if the life support machine is switched off they'll die.

Poor read across from OCDO this morning.

[konradpuss] 12/9/2022 20:07

JP Morgan positive, Bernstein negative.

I suggest we all wait until the interims in early October to see what has occurred at the 'coal face'.

No alteration from full year profits guidance so far.

Retailers were among the top performers in the FTSE 100 on Monday.

The sector was benefiting from a positive read-across after JPMorgan placed supermarket chain Tesco and Portuguese retailer Jeronimo Martins on 'positive catalyst watch'.

Tesco shares finished 5.5% higher. Supermarket peer Sainsbury was 5.3% higher, while DIY retailer Kingfisher topped the blue-chip index to close up 6.5%.

Oil price past its peak imo and speculative bets being unwound as political invention gets real

Daily chart Brent oil at 88



Looks like broken European energy market reform coming. We will know by this weekend.
Gas will no longer determine the price of electricity from other sources. No doubt the politicians will be crowing from the rooftops and calling it the renewable's dividend.

EU plans €200/MWh price cap on non-gas generated electricity

193 Co-op supermarkets sold to Asda might shake things up a bit.

[yf23_1] 05/9/2022 19:58

That only covers households, not businesses, which is where the problem lies.
Households can cut back on energy use, businesses probably can't.

Both wouldn't work anymore as a few years back the Mars Bar started to shrink in size as has the Choux bun over the past 4 months or so.

Not only has the Choux bun increase in price by 113%, if has also shrunk in size by circa 20%, and another also has less cream in it.

Overall, taking every thing into account, compared to the Choux bun 6 months ago, the current bun has increased in price by circa 150% - therefore as from last Monday I stopped buying them as has most other customers in my local Tesco.

[yf23_1] 05/9/2022 15:58

Maybe the Belgium Chocolate Choux Bun will usurp the Mars Bar Index as the alternative inflation index.
