Please don't feel you have to Mick, stay put fella, you are correct it's crap here, you'll be happier amongst your own kind.
I could provide you with specific examples to counter your argument re inflation, but let's be honest there'd be no point. Inwards and downwards.

This is their hope, gambit.
They’ve been spouting on about how they are going to half inflation to 5% this year.
It’s as stupid as trying to convince everyone that they don’t need a ten percent pay rise as inflation will be lower next year and they’ll be no worse off.
Politicians really do think that the entire population are stupid.
Using Izal bog rolls would be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Batts tomato ketchup from Lidl tastes great. 59 pence for a 560 grams.
McDonalds don't do Heinz now so no freebies there...
I hadn’t noticed that!
KFC still do.
I think I remember that Jean-Claude van Damme was the global ambassador for Izal, because he is tough, thick, and don't take no shit off anyone.
Nowt wrong with Lidl Newgate branded baked beans. Fraction of the cost of Heinz. Their Batt's Tomato Ketchup is ok too.

With some chicken gravy granules and sriracha chilli sauce mixed in before heating they are lifted to new heights.
F.T.F.A.
I've been known to add a dash of Tabasco to beans though the gravy granules trick is a new one on me.
Presumably one of their old London prison brands?! Loving the Wormwood Scrubs instant coffee!
Indeed, but they only actually need about 30% of us to be stupid to win a landslide.
TBH I don’t understand why the media haven’t tried harder to explain to those 30% that there’s a difference between reducing inflation and reducing prices.
Your cat food is very unlikely ever to be any cheaper than it is today, so let’s all rejoice with MickP and count our blessings.
I cannot work out if you are a beans genius or some filthy animal. It’s so wrong it might just work.
Fromm EE my mobile price is changing.
My plans will increase by 14.4%, this is inline with CPI rate of inflation plus 3.9%.
I have sim only plans and buy my iPhone,s and some of the families from the SC, my present iPhone is a X and my wifes is a XR
Baked beans price check at Tesco.(no thanks required 😁) Price for individual cans.
Heinz 415g - £1.40
Tesco 420g - 50p
Stockwell brand 420g - 27p (no ring pull on the tin, though)
That's a fair premium for Heinz.
What people on contracts msg not realise is that the remainder of the phone purchase price has also gone up by that amount too.
Lea & Pee, and a dash of Tabasco - just like with Bloody Maries.
Give Smarty mobile a look. Can't go wrong

4 pint milk cartons appear to have increased by around 80%...
That's a shame, they won't fit in the fridge!
Thought I'd ask in this thread as its inflation related.
As an example, if inflation in October 2022 is 10% - it means prices have increased in general by 10% since October 2021. If inflation in October 2023 is 3% - it means prices have increased in general by 3% since October 2022.
So if a loaf of bread had been £1.50 in Oct 21, it would be £1.65 in Oct 22 and £1.70 in Oct 23.
Does this mean if your income doesn't rise in line with inflation year on year - you're basically taking a pay cut each time?
Yes, exactly.
Pretty sure that's the same premium I have to pay over here if I want Heinz in Mercadona.
100% this, Morrisons own, I love lurpak and cant tell the difference at all.
Just wanted to clarify as a friend of mine (actually a previous line manager to me) has their pay increases and bonuses agreed 3 years ahead (common practice - was the same when i worked there), so in Q3 2021, it was agreed they would get 2.75% (i think) for the next 3 years (2021, 22 & 23), cant remember the bonus but it was profit and ebit related or something.
Company are saying it was all agreed and that's what you are getting. It looks like his only choice is to move jobs to a company that is paying market rate.
The only Heinz product worth that level of premium is Heinz Tommy sauce. Nothing else comes close to it.
As for beans, can much tell the difference from one tin to the next.
Ah but they're the only beans in tomato sauce on the shelf in Mercadona and I can't be arsed patronising more than the one supermarket for the weekly shop, just for beans, c'mon...so it's a single tin a week treat for me.
Strangely enough their own brand, reduced sugar tomato sauce does the job for us, swings and roundabouts.
That wasn’t a bad deal at the time but no one predicted what has happened in the last year. H should accept that was the agreed deal and take it on the chin.
Had inflation dropped to zero or below, would he have been happy to have the pay deal negotiated downwards?
Agree with what you say - just unfortunate that when he says he's tightening the belt, i can see exactly how based on this.
Yea, your money is buying less
Silicone seems to have nearly doubled in price at b&q
