Despite high house prices whats kept the young on side so far has been cheap foreign travel and cheap consumer goods. Take that away and things could get interesting

Things those massive fuel/power increases are going to kill are big tellies, latest phones, foreign holidays. Holidays are especially going to be missed after 2 years of Covid.

We are going to be given a shock lesson in the importance of saving for a rainy day, now an alien concept to many.

Having a shiny new motor every couple of years on the never never is the one that will really hit home.
That is an outward sign of status.

Yeah, after the holiday, that’s probably going to be the second major sacrifice for most of the PAYE working population.

After that, it starts to really hit home.

Scary times ahead.

Talking of pricey holidays, I’ve been trying to arrange a trip to Eastern Turkey for a while. Every time I go back to Opodo or Kayak the air tickets have gone up 20%. Must be inflation in fuel prices?

Scary, indeed

Take the cookies off your computer...airlines raise prices if you repeatedly search the same trip

Is that true? Can’t believe I’m learning this so late in life! Thanks

Weirdly I just found the flight I wanted via the actual airline website - and, yes, much cheaper

Send you might be right 👍👍🥂🥂

As a seasoned traveller for Flint knappers Monthly I am very surprised you didn't know these common underhand tactics employed in the travel industry in relation to "personalised pricing".

Genuinely didn’t know this. I is idiot

Does it matter if the Knappers monthly is paying?

That’s probably why I never deduced this. Generally I’ve had tickets arranged for me and paid by others
