BREXIT - THE GIFT THAT JUST KEEPS GIVING

[Stooo]

UK now the worst-performing advanced economy in the world after post-Brexit vote slump

Canada became the last G7 nation to report figures on Wednesday, confirming the UK’s position at the bottom of the list

Before the Brexit vote, just under a year ago, the UK economy was flying high, outgrowing Germany, Japan and the US.

Now Britain is languishing alongside Italy, whose economy also grew at 0.2 per cent in the first quarter of the year.

The "gift" we knew would come - the "gift" we do not want.

Strong and stable...

If the EU is falling to pieces then the UK must be in a far worse state of affairs.

Not yet but we're getting there!

We are currently surviving on a rush of exports and tourism, as foreign buyers and visitors take advantage of the weakness of the GBP following the Brexit vote.

Sadly, what goes around comes around, and we are already seeing prices and inflation rising, and if the prices don't go up, the pack sizes shrink....

We really are in trouble.

Pack sizes have been shrinking for decades. A full size Mars bar was 65gr.

And wagon wheels were literally the size of wagon wheels....

They have, quietly and on fairly rare occasions shrunk. But since July last year there has been a veritable epidemic.

"Hundreds of supermarket items have shrunk in size while their price has been kept the same or even increased, the consumer group Which? has warned."

As the main shopper in the house, I have been watching this go on for ages, and was sitting the other night saying that that's what they do - shrink the size - rather than raise the price, but do they think we don't notice?

And pmsling at the Wagon Wheels comment - as I had lifted a pack a few days ago and was shocked to see the size of them ! We really are being squeezed from all sides.

As a single parent for the past 15 years sizes of everything have fallen, stuff like Alberto Balsam shampoo - was 750 ml now down to 350 ml but hey it's still £1.
