Title: Cost of Living Latest Moan
Post by: Snoopy on April 10, 2012, 11:23:30 AM
We moved here 11 years ago and one of the first things I did was to order 500 litres of heating oil.
Priced at 16.9pence per litre the bill came to £84.50.

Today I ordered 500 litres to top the tank up .... an eye-watering £345.98  (65.9pence a litre) shocked003


Wish my income had kept pace with that sort of inflation.   cussing:

I thought I saw a new programme on ITV the other day, the prize was a month's worth of petrol.

Turned out to just be 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'........

And I live in Rural North Wales where two cars are essential, my income is made up of pensions, disability benefits and wife's part time earnings. Food in Sainsbury, Asda or Tesco costs the same here as in the "Expensive City". I have THREE children to bleed me dry. MY council tax is £1869.50 pa and I have a mortgage of £68k to pay off from an annual family income of under £20k. I had no choice.
SO DON'T CRY ON MY SHOULDER.  cussing:
